WOrking At The STone HOuse

We spent the better part of the day working at the Kennedy Stone House.
Last fall we were asked to attend the root cellar planting and recreation.
We had started the project a few weeks ago and needed to get it finished or at least almost finished. :) Today was a great day to be working outside. Still need to get some more plants in and mulch.
My SO, sister Karla, her son Douglas and I were busy, busy.

but for now, the weeds are GONE!
I need some ideas of things we can make or some thrift store items we could redo to add to the root cellar. Give me your thoughts, please??!!!

Friday Chit Chat

Good morning,
I am up ( have been since 4am). What the heck is wrong with me? :)
Getting ready to clean up a little and run some errands.
It's Friday and that means the Farmer's market is on the Courthouse square.
Of course, we are expecting some rain too.
National road yard sales start tomorrow.

I have been doing some summer decorating at the 'ol homestead. :) tee hee

I got this huge crow a year or so ago. I just love him. You always see wreaths or little plaques on doors,so not original, I mean how cute are they?! lol
I wanted to be different and use something big.


On my tv armoire. Uncle Sam is waiting to wave the grand 'ol flag.

The small "U.S.A." sign to the left of Sam is from the Dollar Zone( of course, $1.00) . I wish I had a bigger one. I don't think that one shows up real well.

Another pic of the living room in some light.


This is a close up of the shelf behind the sofa.
The 3 tea stained flags came from the Dollar Zone too.

You got it, $1.00 each!
The crock they are in was literally dug up last summer. Crock to the left ( with my favorite pantry cloths in it) was in a freebie box at a yard sale. :)

Do you have any flags in your decorating?

just some rambling..........

How many more berries do you think I need for a pie? :)

I picked these berries today before it started raining.
Of course, I really didn't have enough for a pie so I ate them au natural.
They were so good and so sweet!
Don't you think things that are home grown taste so much better?

I have been working on a few craft items but nothing completed yet.
We have had rain off and on all day.
Took this pic in between rain showers and sunshine.

We had baked steak, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans and iced tea for supper.
What did you make?

Tomorrow, I have a few errands to run.
Got a few more pics to share with you real soon too.
