When I was a little kid, in school, Thursday became my favorite day. It felt like the beginning of the weekend. It’s still that way. Thursday…you so chill. (Why am I talking like that?) Let’s try that again. Thursday…you are finer than frog hair. There…that is true to my SoMo roots. 


I have eleventy million things that I need to get done around here. Do you ever feel like that in the spring? I know that the Mister does…bless his little pea pickin’ heart. He is steadily getting his list hacked down. I need to spring clean like nobody’s business. I’m gonna have to take it in stride though. Unless I hire some helpers. Hmmmm….lol!


So…more stuff. Have you guys read this? My sweet friend (cousin) Amanda let me borrow it. I’m excited to start it. Doesn’t Joanna have amazing taste?!? 


(Pea pickin’.)

Well…I have successfully bumbled around in this post. I hope that your Thursday evening is delightful. I hope that you get to relax and stretch out your toes. This post just might have made your eyelids heavy. 😉

I know. Shocking. Two posts in two days. I aim to please. Lol! Soooo…two things.  Well…maybe three.

1. If you have a man that brings you a     white pumpkin home from the grocery store…keep him.

2. McDonald’s has really upped their game. Their fries taste better out of those little baskets. 🙈


3. You just can’t improve on the handiwork of God. His eye for beauty never ceases to amaze me.


Those are my two (three) things for you today. Feel free to let the comments roll!

You guys!!! How have you been? Has your August been as busy as ours? Ca.Ray.Zee. Today I’m gonna talk a bit about rugs galore okay? Okay!


I am totally in love with this new rug in our entry. Sometimes I buy new things and they have to grow on me. They have to woo my standoffish heart. Not so in this case. It’s crazy…this is the first braided farmhouse rug that we have had at the Farmhouse. What is the dealeo? 😉 Anyway…we are all loving this one. It came from a local shop and was a great deal!!!


(I just threw a little mantle love in there for fun.) 


Theeeeeen…on my birthday…I finally got my cowhide that I have been dreaming of. We love it!!! It smells so good too. Leather is my favorite scent. (Sorry bovine population.) I  also love the bit of flair that it adds to our dining room. This is probably my favorite flea market find…ever. (Thank you Mister of mine and parents!!!)

Well…that is my rug rambling! Leave me a comment and tell me all about your summer finds!!! I loooooove to read your comments.

So here we are. I hope that you guys had a wonderful weekend. Mine was chalked full of sinus crud…but things are a bit brighter today. Thankful for that! Just a few Monday musings for you. You know…stuff to ponder.


Isn’t that the cutest dish brush? I know!!! And those little utility shears? Those came from The Freckled Hen Farmhouse. Sweet Natalie can totally hook you up right here: 

https://freckledhenfarmhouse.com

You can also find them on Insta!!!


Our zinnias are blooming. They are so fun! Maybe…possibly my favorite flower. I’m just not sure…because I love peonies too. I love roses also…in pale pink and cream. So many choices.


It has been hotter than a firecracker here in southern Missouri. Our poor little ladies and one gentleman (rooster) will be glad when it cools off a little…I’m sure. 

A bunch of random Monday musings just for you. From me. The end.

Love from the Farmhouse,

I hope that your evenin’ is cozy and relaxing. I hope that you feel content and full of blessings. I also hope that the God of Heaven and Earth wraps you in His blessed peace. That would be a great start to the week!

June, Junking, and Bath and Body Works

Here in Southern Missouri…June 1st is a bit soggy. If you look at the forecast…it’s rain for years. That being said we are glad that you are back June, you ol’ thang. One request though: A few sunny days for swimming? Mmmkay. Thanks!


So…now that you have the weather report, how about some junking news?  Yesterday, I was at one of our little “honey holes” and treated myself. I have been admiring this little salt crock for awhile. It’s old, well-loved, and perfect. She even came down a bit on it. That is always a bonus. These days I am picky about the finds that I bring home. This one though…is a keeper.


Okay, so, did you know that Bath and Body Works have made some of their classic scents available again? They sure have. I ordered Sun Ripened Raspberry this morning.(I am sold on their body cream in any scent.) Eeeeeep!  How fun is that?  I have missed that scent. It was probably my very favorite!  Plus today…they have a code for free shipping. Aaaaand…It was buy two get one free!!! You totally needed to know. Totally cool. (My daughters are rolling their eyes and barfing. Wait…what am I saying?  They won’t read this! I can say what I want!!!) TOTALLY! Lol!


(This is the “retro” packaging. They have amped it up a bit. Cause you know…it’s not 1995.)

Okay…enough of that. I hope that you guys have a wonderful evening.  Leave me a big, fat, comment. I love to read them. My readers are the best.

Crazy Crazy Month of May

I am waiting in the parent pick up line as we speak. Well actually as I speak. Into my little microphone thingy. Why do I forget all the rest of the year just how crazy,  crazy, super-crazy the month of May is? Then it rolls around and I act surprised. Maybe I should write this down. 😉


Other than that, we are all trying to hang in there. I’m sure that you all are doing the same. I will try to write a little more content for you… when I get a minute.


If your month of May is a little crazy, like ours, just try to remember that summer is around the bend. My hope is that it is a relaxing and refreshing one.

Light and Fluffy

Yesterday’s post was a bit heavy.  We have to have that at times don’t we?  It is the stuff that life is made of.  Today though…we are going with light and fluffy. A good balance is something that I am learning.  Sometimes…we have to direct our minds from the heavy things that we carry…to the lighter side of life.  It’s not denial…it’s survival.

Are you guys putting out all things springy?  I really need to do that.  Spring break is next week in our neck of the woods…so it would definitely be appropriate.

We have had a new baby born on the farm.  She is a little Black Angus heifer named Cleo.  She is just as cute as she can be.  I love to watch her jump around.  She keeps her mama on her toes, watching after her.

Since we are just visiting today…what are you guys having for supper?  We are having taco night at Mamaw and Papaw’s.  Mamaw and I cooked up that plan last night…so we are all excited.  Tacos are just about my very favorite meal to have at home.  We actually eat Mexican food a lot around here. Such a fun meal.  I may try my hand at chunky guac tonight.  They serve that at our local El Charro and it’s AHHHHHHHmazing!

Well…I am about out of light and fluffy chatter. I hope that you all have an amazing weekend.  I hope that you take the time to count every blessing that the Lord has given you. Thankfulness is key in a happy life isn’t it?  You bet your eye teeth it is!

To Tree or Not To Tree

(Warning: The photos in this post have nothing to do with the topic.  You are welcome.)

Ha!  What a title!  Plain and simple, I have a question for you on this week before Thanksgiving.  To tree or not to tree? Do you already have yours up? 

  
Our girls wanted to put ours up last Saturday.  It was way in the back corner of the basement…so it’s still not up.  I used to always wait.  I love Thanksgiving so I like to savor it first.  Plus…the simplicity lover in me can only handle seasonal decor for so long.  (Weird, I know.) We shall see how it goes.  When it comes to my babies…I tend to cave on things that don’t have to be set in stone. I like that about me. 

  
I would love to hear your take on it.  It’s fun to appreciate the perspectives of others. Leave me a comment.  Let’s hash this thing. 😉 To tree or not to tree…

Blogging from my phone today. I need to go to the grocery store…so not a lot of time for photog and edits. I kinda love ALDI a lot…so it’s not a huge chore. Just a few Thursday musings for ya and a few iPhone shots.

IMG_0625.JPG
Isn’t Thursday fun!? Most of you know that it’s my favorite and always has been. Strange…I know. Lol! I like to have all of my stuff done by Thursday, house cleaning etc., so I can enjoy. My dad was like that. Jump in and get your work done so you can party to the fullest. 😉

IMG_0603.JPG
I have every intention of setting up a new craft area in the basement. Yes…my new sewing machine is still in the box. To my credit though…we have had a lot going on. Also, for this little project I am going to need the Mr.’s muscles…because a few things need moved. We also need to build a little goat barn. Hmmm….wonder which one will win out? 😉

I hope that you thoroughly enjoy your Thursday!

Love from our dirt road to yours!
