Hey guys! Is it finally turning spring where you live? Our weather has been a bit temperamental…but it’s beautiful outside. The grass is green and so is the pollen.

I need to put my little bit of Easter decor away today. I didn’t have a lot. A few eggs and bunnies.

That is Whisky, Papaw Jerry’s dog. He got in on the festivities. πŸ˜‰

Side note: I have still be crocheting right along. I’m sending out an order today. It’s so fun to send little pieces of our home out across the country.

Anyway…I hope that you all had a blessed Easter with your families . I hope that you felt the gift that Jesus gave, all day long. I also hope that all of us enjoy that same gift all throughout the year.

Love from The Farmhouse,

So it’s been a little while. I hope that all is well on the home front. We have been crazy busy and I have kept this little blog up on the shelf for a bit. Just a few dirt road happenings…but first a question:

Do people still read blogs?

Seriously. In the world of Instagram, where you get a little shot in the arm, which is like a speedy blog post, do people still read blogs? Just curious. I would love your input!!!

Okay…on to other things.

While I haven’t been blogging, I have been keeping up (trying to) with the Mr. and the kids. AND crocheting up a storm. I have a little Farmhouse Dishrag business that the Lord has just blown the doors off of…so I have been busy…and thankful!!! I love creating…so this is perfect.

It’s so fun to send little bits of our home to the homes of others.

Anyway…I hope that you all are well and joyful. I hope that life is treating you good and that you feel the love of Jesus from your crown to your pinky toes.

Love from the Farmhouse,

Good Morning!

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. πŸ˜‰

<

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. πŸ˜‰ Anyway…good morning and Happy Monday, Dirt Roaders.

You Made It!

ball jars, farmhouse style, home decor, summer

It’s Fri-Yay! You made it!!! Did your week fly or did it plod? That seems to make a lot of difference doesn’t it?


Whatever the speed of your week…I hope that it was a productive one. It has been so hot here in the Ozarks that you have to be a little more selective about the time of day that you do certain chores. Of course…it is summer…so heat comes with it. 


I hope that your weekend is relaxing. I hope that you get to spend it with those that you love, God, family and friends. Maybe you will even sneak in a junkin’ trip or two. That sounds fun!!! (I have been looking at Mason Cash mixing bowls online. Oh goodness. All the heart eyes!) 


(Pinterest masoncash.co.uk)

Got a little side tracked there. Lol! But seriously….GOR JESSSSSS! 

Okay…so you all have a blessed weekend!

Chattin’ It Up

country life, farmhouse style, God is Good, God's love, home, succulents, summer, vintage

Good morning guys! It’s Thursday!!! My favorite!!! I thought that we would just chat it up a little today. Nothing specific in this post. That okay? Okay!


So…the fair is in our neck of the woods this week. The hottest time of the year. Lol! My Mister and our son went to the livestock show this week. They sent me the sweetest shot of our son and his buddy…heading for a funnel cake. I love this!!!


I did a little revamping this week. If you follow along on IG…some of this is old news. Anyway, I kept seeing these cloches in our storage area and they were calling my name. Vintage bread board, succulents, Currier and Ives, and cloches. You can’t go wrong. πŸ˜‰


I posted this to FB this week. It just jumped right out and slapped me. (Lord, please help me to be a cheerleader for those around me. I want to have a pure heart! Amen.) People often say that life is short…which is true…but life is such a gift. Wasting it on jealousy and petty things is just sad. I wanna be a rooter!!! You know…rooting folks on. I told a sweet, sweet, momma at church last night, that we were rooting for her. We are. Her baby girl is having some scary health complications and we are holding them up in prayer. That is real life. Genuine, heart to heart, stuff. I wanna live there. God is good, isn’t He? And the folks say…”All the time.”


I hope that Thursday treats you well. I hope that it feels like the beginning to your weekend. May you look around…and count your blessings…because life…is a gift.

Love from the Farmhouse,

p.s. Thanks for chattin’ it up with me!!! Leave me a comment! I love to read them!

Pineapple Whip, summer, take it easy

Hey guys! Are you crazy-busy this summer? We seem to be. Always something going on and now we have hit a heat wave. How about you?

Today we have stayed home and pretty much did only laundry. It is a constant in my life. πŸ˜‰ Faithful friends…that washer and dryer. Last week the kids had camp…so they are detoxing from that…in a good way. They love camp and are sad when it’s over.


In other news…the Mr. and I tried our first Pineapple Whip ever!!! It was yummy! Where have we been? Under a rock?


I hope that you all are staying cool and remembering how to take it easy. We are relearning that one!

Love from the Farmhouse,

My Favorite Day and Random Stuff

Thursday

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. πŸ˜‰

Two Things

God's Creation, mcdonald's, pumpkins

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. πŸ™ˆ


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!

braided rugs, cowhide, farmhouse style, rugs

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? πŸ˜‰ 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.

Monday Musings

chickens, farmhouse style, zinnias

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,

Kelli

Welcome to our stretch of the dirt road! It is filled with junkin' trips, culinary experiments and anything to "fluff the nest" which is our farmhouse. I love home decor that fits my family. I love a simplicity that we can live in. Maybe that is why the country life is so appealing to us. It's a place to breathe deep...and enjoy the journey. Join us! We would love to have you. (You might even see a chicken or two.)
