Spring Home Tour

Good afternoon my dears,

I'd like to welcome you to our spring home tour. 

We moved into our home almost one year ago, on March 22nd, so this was our first year getting to decorate with spring décor. So grab yourself a cup of tea, and enjoy the tour.

Thank you for stopping by.

Daytrip To Old Salem, NC

Good afternoon my dears.

We come to Old Salem every year and there's good reason. Its as if you step back in time to the 1700's and 1800's for a day. 🎔 Who wouldn't want that?

Lunch in The Old Tavern.

Cory ordered the bratwurst and I ordered the pot roast. Both were delicious.

The cemetery, affectionately called God's Acre, has scripture and sayings on all the gates and arches. 

The house with the mustard yellow door used to be the doctors house. 

One of the Moravian gift shops. Isn't it darling?

The sun peeking from behind the houses... 

...and coming through the leaves was beautiful. 

Below is our video diary (vlog) of our day trip to Old Salem, as well as weeks 9 & 10 of building our farmhouse in the 🎔 of the Carolina countryside. 

Thank you. To any of you who take the time to read my blog, or watch my vlogs. I enjoy seeing how other people live - and we all have one thing in common, we like to remember these little moments, because maybe, just maybe the little moments are what matter the most.

Carving Pumpkins At The Farm

Boo! 

How are you?

This past week or so, the weather has begun to get cooler, and its finally starting to feel like Fall. I don't mind the autumn and winter seasons, as I like getting cozy and having less bugs to contend with, but I also don't like that it gets darker earlier. How about you?

We recently carved some pumpkins on the farm, and so without further ado, here's some pictures. 

Our pumpkin carving station, which looks like an altar.

Our sweet Sophie came and joined us at the farm for the day. She was so well-behaved, and didn't mind a few pieces of pumpkin as a snack. 

Before I go, I'd like to ask for prayers for our cat, Boo. She recently had blood work taken, and we're hoping her results will come back okay. 

Have a blessed week,

Autumn Picnic At The Farm

Good morning my dears. Hope you slept well.

Here's a little Pinterest inspiration for you to start your day with.

Our autumn weather has been unseasonably warm. Over 90 degrees most days.

However, it was a little more breezy on Saturday afternoon, so we went to the farm and had an autumn picnic. I used my phone to serenade us by one of my favorites - Doris Day (the song will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside).

For the floral arrangement I used greenery from our garden, with autumn rod and Kenyan roses.

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

(with candy corn pumpkins)

Cheddar and Golden Tomato Tea Sandwiches

(I added a slither of mayonnaise and a dash of cracked pepper)

Dirt Pudding

(Chocolate pudding with dark chocolate shavings and a sprig of mint)

Everything was simple and delicious.

We enjoyed talking about the past week and the week to come. We've been busy bees, as we approach week three of building our farmhouse.

So until next time, have a blessed week.
