~ Summer-y Sunday ~

~ Good Morning Friends & Folk ~

and happy Sunday to you!

I don't think dear Mother Nature can make up her mind lately…

we go from sun to cloud, dry to wet, hot & humid to downright thunderous.

Last night we had a bad lightening-storm that knocked out our power & fried our wireless router 

{Peter is out purchasing a new one now - I have to have my wireless for my iPad & Notebook!}

I took a few snaps -between raindrops- this morning:

the rains & humidity have everything here on the farm very verdant & lush ~

our girl Roxy likes to nap in the fresh, cool much in our garden beds.

much to the chagrin of Peter & myself…

~ we keep telling her that she has to set a good example 

for when little Cooper comes to live with us!

I have been mowing the grass every couple of days,

again -between raindrops-

and when the sun does shine I swear you can watch it grow!

Daisy & Nocchi don't mind it growing though, neither do the sheep…

it makes them very happy :)

Remember the 'Snake Incident' last week?

{yep}

well, we had a feeling he {she/it} got in through our ramshackle back porch

{which is actually a side porch but we call it the back porch I don't know why}

SO

Peter tore down all the walls. Even the wall that was between our breakfast nook & laundry area.

Now it will be one bigger, open room ~

… below is the view with me standing with the kitchen sink behind me.

in this snap I've moved closer to the nook:

to the left of the window above, Peter will be building a closet/cupboard to hold brooms & such.

now I'm in the laundry room/backdoor/mudroom area

{geeeez what the heck will I call it now?}

looking in toward the kitchen sink area:

and here is a view of the b'fast nook with me standing with my back to the back door

{which is not a back door at all as explained earlier 

but i'm still confused we don't even have a 'back' door!}

 here is that damned door!

since it is on the same side {front} of the farmhouse,

but to the side, and no longer leads to a 'porch' but now a mudroom/laundry area/breakfast nook,

WHAT THE HECK would you call it??

the washer is there, and the dryer will go to the right of the washer.

Peter will conceal them both with built-in 'faux' cupboards, 

and we'll hang glass front cupboards {the same ones in our kitchen} 

above the washer/dryer with shelves between the cupboards…

He's also making us a drop-down wooden ironing board that will be to the left of the washer

and we will also be adding that broom closet/cupboard to the wall opposite the washer/dryer.

then we will paint, finish the floor and I can then begin decorating ~

the fun part {for me!}

If I have to do laundry, it might as well be a pretty room, right?

Well I am off now to vacuum…

another never-ending chore in this old farmhouse, but especially lately 

~ with all the sawdust & sheetrock dust flying around :)

Hoping you all enjoy a peaceful & creative Sunday!

~ Blessings from the Farm ~
