I’m barely making it under the wire. It’s 11:50. I might get this published in time to actually say “Good Morning!” but if not…I appreciate the grace. 😉

sent that to my MIL on Facebook this morning. An appropriate funny for a Monday…don’t you think? She knows that I’m crazy…so it’s all good. (I’m not sure where that little arrow is coming from or why the s isn’t capitalized…maybe it’s because it’s Monday. Sheesh!)

shot of our mantle on IG today. I stated there that it had all the things needed for winter. Twinkly lights, good books, and greens. Well…probably also the Keurig…but it won’t fit up there. 😉 Anyway…good morning and Happy Monday, Dirt Roaders.

Love from the Farmhouse,

Hold On

We have had some warm days lately, how about you? After the freezing temps…I have enjoyed it. Those sunny days seem to help you hold on for the hope of spring, huh?

I don’t mind winter too awful bad…but I do enjoy spring popping up around the corner. More time outside and more fresh air. I am always a little sad to see the cozy season go…but I like the hope of new growth.

Do things seem bleak and wintry for you right now? If they do…hold on. God is not far, far, away. He is right there…and He will help. This morning I was reading about those Hebrew boys in the furnace. The king was amazed that there appeared to be four in there, and one was like as the Son of God. Wow. Hold on friends…and don’t let go. It won’t be winter forever.

Is Old Man Winter getting up in your grill? Lol! He tends to do that…when his breath is below freezing. I threaten to wrap up like a burrito, in a blanket, this time of year. True story.

I have been doing a little “winter reset” around the Farmhouse. That keeps Old Man Winter off of my back. Little bright touches of pretty.

My in-laws gave me this gorgeous, handmade, sign for Christmas. It’s the perfect touch for a more neutral palette after the holiday season. Fresh and clean. January is good for that. I got a slow start with that…but I’m getting a little skedaddle in my get along now. (If you don’t speak Ozarkian…that means I finally got in gear…on week two.) Burritos don’t get much done.

Our sweet friends gave us this ottoman. It’s so cozy and our kids love it. I was gonna put it in the basement but I got overruled. That’s okay…cozy helps keep Old Man Winter at bay. Crusty ol’ feller.

Love from the Farmhouse,

Good Morning!

Hey guys! Are you bright eyed and bushy tailed today? I wouldn’t go that far myself, but I do have the bed stripped and ready to go in the wash. Does that count? Well…good morning anyway. Lol!

If you follow along on Instagram…you might have seen my post about Grove Collaborative this morning. I wanted to share it here too. It’s a great company to order household supplies from. I am so excited about the last order that came in the mail.

Here is the link so you can check it out:

So…I hope that you are having a good…no…great morning. I hope that your coffee is still hot. I hope that you have supper plans made. I also hope that you stay warm on this winter day.

Speaking of supper plans…I don’t have a clue. I’d better shake a tail feather. 😉

Hello sweet Dirt Roaders! How is life treating you? I hope that you all had a Merry Christmas and are having a happy start to 2018. Whew! Can you believe it? Time flies!

We have been fighting off sinus germs here. It hasn’t been super fun. It’s also freeeeeeezing cold here in southern Missouri. I guess it is winter though, at least in our neck of the woods.

The Mr. braved the frosty weather and grilled steaks over the holiday. They were really good. A little taste of summer…in the heart of winter.

I found the quote above somewhere on the internet. I think it’s fitting for a blank page, how about you? “where no foot has been before…” God is like that. He beckons us to put down our fear and run to Him, as He guides. What better way to blaze the trail of a new year, than to follow the Leader?
