Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!  It will be another quiet Halloween at the farm.  We do not get trick or treaters for a couple of reasons.  Number one, we don't have any kids living on our road and number two, we live too far off a main road to get kids trick or treating.  Getting trick or treaters was always a fun part of Halloween and Tim always enjoyed giving out candy! Have a Happy Halloween!

The New Purchases Are Hung

The first couple of fall festivals that we attended were successful for George and Lisa to find some new decorations for their own house.  Yes, they have been buying things for the new guest house but they are also still looking for some different decorations for their house and they found some.  The first is a framed picture of some farm animals.  It is one of those unique pieces that will start a conversation.  It is adoreable!  Another decoration is one they can keep up all year long because it covers all the holidays.  It's Happy Everything!  The third items is a sodden pumpkin sign that is cute and fun.  They just happened to have one wall that the decorations could go on and it looks great!

The Guest House Purchases Part 3

Along with the purchase of the prints and the storage bench one more item was purchased from the Parrottsville Harvest Festival this year and it was this really nice mirror/coat hanger. It is made of the same wood and has the same finish that the bench has so they will look great together.  The prices on all the items were really very good and it helps support the local artists in the area.

The Guest a House Purchases Part 2

On the same day that the prints were purchased for the guest house so was two pieces of furniture.  One of the pieces was a bench with cubbies.  This will be placed at he entrance into the guest house so that boots and shoes can be removed before entering the guest house.  With snow or muddy condtioins this is an excellent piece to have because the red clay mud really can mess up the floors.  The bench also creates storage so it is a win win piece to have.

The Guest House Purchases Part 1

George and Lisa are adding on to their home by building a three car garage and a guest house all in the same building.  On one side will be the garage and on the other side, facing the view, will be the guest house.  Remember the slab that was poured this summer?  That is where this will all take place.  Since the guest house will also be a summer kitchen for pickling, etc Lisa wanted to make sure it had a well functioning kitchen for us to do our thing as "pickle queens"!  The first purchase for the house is some prints done by a local artist that we both just happen to bowl with too.  She is very talented as you can tell by the prints.  Her name is Joan Beiber and she makes some incredible items.  These prints were building in Parrottsville when it was a "big" town.

Gearing Up For A Guest House

While Tim and I have been enjoying a family vacation at Disney World George and Lisa
have been busy looking and getting items for their guest house that will begin being built pretty soon.  Check back over the next couple of days and see what they have so far.

Ummm, Here Boy?

I know Shadow misses us but he has a funny way of showing it.  Lisa and George have been great taking very good care of Shadow and we thank them both very much.  The latest picture of Shadow is snuggling up to George on the couch.  I would be worried except that I also heard when Shadow goes out for his morning walk he sits on our deck for a while. Thanks Lisa and George and Shadow, we love you buddy!
