On a rainy day...

 

...a cold and rainy day....

 

...the apples needed to be picked...

 

 

...a lot of apples..

 

 

 

...a little energy boost and...

 

 

... now, what to do with all those apples.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Putting summer to bed....

I have been so busy lately that my garden has become neglected.  The last of the harvest bravely clinging to dying plants...

...and one lonely strawberry a little out of season...

 

...time to pick and weed...

 

 

...and spread the manure that's been composting all summer....

...and summer has been put to bed. 

My First Post....

...a year ago I created this blog site to chronicle our life on our hobby farm and after reading and following numerous wonderful blogs I finally feel brave enough to start posting.  After leaving a fantastic career outside of the home, I am now able to pursue my passions for foraging for vintage collectables, renewing and redoing old furnisher, DYI projects, growing our own veg and generally enjoying life on the farm.

A great find...

 

 

...my hubby and I picked up these two great old chairs.

The horse hair and straw stuffing is hanging out of the leather backs; as with starting the blog

I am having a wee bit of difficulty deciding what to do with them - I'm thinking maybe ASP antique white with black upholstry?
