Daisy Totes

What a wonderful gift that arrived in the mail recently!  Daisy from
http://mymaplehillfarm.blogspot.com/ ....do check her out.  She gardens much further south than Maine...Florida. It's fun to see the differences and similarities of growing in different zones. She made these just for my kids!  They are called "Daisy Totes", read about them here. My kids love them, thank you Daisy!.

Randoms.

Cleaning the camera...random good things. Small snippets of the good life.

 

Horses.

There are new owners on a farm only 6 minutes from ours. They generously gave our homeschool co-op a marvelous time learning about/experiences horses. Seriously, we all were on cloud nine, it was so awesome!  Check them out: www.livingwellsfarm.com

Front Porch Living

 Oh front three season porch, what a treasured place you've been for our cats. Here's the before.

 Come summer, it's too hot out there. A little later than ideal, we took the windows out. Here's the during.

 Screens back up.  Loving the after.

 And apparently the cats are enjoying the bug free relaxation too.

 I'm pretty sure the screen porch is the best feature of this old farmhouse.  So blessed.

Books on a blanket

 

 A random mid day break for books? I'm always glad I make time for stuff like this.

 

A kit from BOG: Milk Crates

My dad sent another project for the kids. They LOVE hammering things. In fact, I think both of my kids can hammer a nail in straighter than *ahem* other members of the family.  My dad makes the best kits! (Thank you so much, BOG!).  (If you missed their last woodworking project, click here for the birdhouses.)
