Good Chilly Morning
~ Friends & Folk ~
it finally feels more like November today ~
temps in the low 40's, crisp air & sunshine…perfect.
days like this usually find me outside taking a walk to charge up my energies ~
fill my lungs with fresh air, and my brain with inspiration!
I love to visit the smaller pine saplings in our woods on my walks.
I check their progress and give them encouragement to grow tall & strong…but
one sapling will always be chosen to come celebrate the Season with us here in the farmhouse ~
I try to choose a straight pine, but with character ~
to come 'live' in our farmhouse kitchen for a while…
Peter will dig up it's root ball so we can then replant it after it's visit with us :)
Once inside, I put it into a waterproof pot, then a big basket.
then I will hang my antique tin cookie cutters, nutmeg graters and biscuit cutters on it
…all tied with torn red homespun fabric.
~ Simple is Best ~
here is a simple project for your hands during this upcoming busy-season…
* 1889 Feather Tree *
while decorating the farmhouse,
I usually make a couple of batches of this beloved candy ~
I'm sure your family will enjoy it as much as ours, and it also makes a great gift when given in an old glass mason jar tied up with brown paper & string!
Thank You to Stacy for allowing me to be a small part in your Blog Hop!
and a VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to All of our Service Folk:
We have the Freedom to Celebrate what we love
~ because of the sacrifices you have made for us all…
{an extra special Thank You to Chris Manlick & his Family for all that you do for us!}
