yes, I am dreaming and dreaming and dreaming of a farm ...
land and a small farmhouse and a barn and some chickens and goats, maybe a horse and now I am thinking of also having a family cow ... I read a great article about it at Backwoods Home - Finding, Buying, Milking and Living with the Family Cow.
So now a good friend that I have met over the internet (Hi Michelle!) introduced me to Mary Jane Butters and her FABULOUS Ideabook*Cookbook*Lifebook: for the farmgirl in all of us:
It's a wonderful book full of stories and pictures and ideas and inspiration. I found it at our library the other day. I brought it home and have been eating it up because it is full of delicious stuff!
I joined her Farmgirl Connection to chat with other farmgirls and wannabes about everything from our dream farms to making your own soap to milking cows to finding land ... and more. And I have received such a warm welcome ... I even bought a cute little apron for my dishwashing liquid from Aunt Jenny ... gotta start somewhere, right? Although no one could accuse me of not wanting to be a farmgirl if they saw my kitchen ... I love old antique signs and I have several ... farm fresh milk, fresh bread daily, drink milk, and then two new ones - one says seeds and the other says grow.
So now here I am ... pretending that my lovely home is my farmhouse. That's what I am going to do ... dream and live in the moment as if I were already there. That way I think I won't become discontent with the blessings the Lord has already provided for me.
I even asked my husband last night if I could put up a clothesline .... "After we get our fence" he told me with a smile ... I know all my dreaming makes him smile. Well, we should get our fence the next couple of weeks, so I'll keep you posted on that.
Gotta run ... I hear the baby waking ....
Blessings to all!
