Dirt Road Musings

You guys. You totally sweet and faithful guys. Thank you for being patient with me. You are absolutely the best. So…without further ado…some dirt road musings.


I was going to make meatloaf for supper…but I just got a text from my oldest…suggesting tacos. Taco Tuesday…your powers are strong. By the way…that isn’t a meatloaf above…but I didn’t have a meatloaf capture. 😉


Are you guys all decorated up for Easter? This is an old mantle shot…but it makes me want to put all of my scales together again. Hmmm….




While I’m digging up old mantle pictures…

It’s almost time to put the whale back out!!! He’s so fun for summer.


It’s been fun chatting! I hope that you all have a wonderful Easter and that the risen Savior warms the very depths of your heart.

Spring So Soon?

I don’t know about you guys…but we have hardly had any winter in SoMo. It is crazy. I love a little winter…so it has been bittersweet…and leaves me asking “Spring so soon?”


You know the old saying “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.” ??? Yeah…I’m doing that. It’s getting all springish up in here. 




Soooo…I am going to drag more bunnies up from the basement and stuff like that. If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen the carrot garland and the cast iron bunny. I love putting a few seasonal things out for the kids.


Spring so soon? Maybe so.

Love from the Farmhouse,

You guys! Where have you been? Just kidding, just kidding! It was me. I was a bit AWOL.

AWOL

ˈāˌwôl/

adjectiveMILITARY

absent from one’s post but without intent to desert.

But…here I am. 

I won’t bore you with all of the crazy happenings, (mainly illness) but I really have missed blogging. I need to get back in the swing of things. I am trying. Sometimes that is all we can do.


I hope that you have a blessed week and a happy Valentines Day tomorrow!!! 


Talk to you soon!

Kelli

Good morning! I hope that all is well in your neck of the woods. We are getting Thanksgiving week kicked off. The kids are out of school and turkey plans are being made.

I hope that you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.May God bless you…to overflowing.

Pebble Gray

I was over the Spa Blue. It had actually been with us for eight years. Crazy!!! Time really flies. Also…some of the bathroom hadn’t been painted since we built. Sooo…I introduce you to Pebble Gray.


I absolutely love it. A beautiful neutral gray, that is very warm. When I pick my grays I always start with black at the beginning point. This one seems to have a tad of a brown tone, almost dusky, like dove gray.


This paint actually came from Walmart. We have used their paint several different times and love the durability. So…if you are looking for this color…that is where I found it.


This color is just so cozy. That is important to me. Cozy is my favorite.


So if you are looking for a color that is bright…yet soft…cozy and warm, Pebble Gray is a good choice.

Happy Weekend!!!

Kelli

Happy Mon…er…Tuesday!

fall, farmhouse style, tuesday

Hey everyone! Are we runnin’ full steam ahead after the long weekend? I have things going around here…pretty much. It does feel like a Monday though. 

Did everyone have a good holiday? We did. We decided at the last minute to have a little weekend get-away. It was fun! Yesterday though…we just kicked back a bit. That is always nice too.

I hit a couple of different Targets while I was in a town or two that actually had one. I had seen some things on Instagram that I was interested in picking up. They were fresh out of the checked throw pillows that I was after…but I picked up some cloth napkins…and may actually make them into window treatments. Fun…fun!



Are you guys starting to decorate for fall? I’m not just yet…but maybe soon!

Have a great evening!

The Mason Jars of Summer

I might have been the last to know. Did you know?  You know…that Wal-Mart was carrying quart sized, AQUA, Ball jars this year?  They will definitely be the Mason jars of summer at our house this year.


They come in a pack of four. I needed eight. Lol! Needed… might not be the word. Truth be told…I am a bit jar crazy. (My Mister understands this about me…and lovingly tolerates my ways.) We have used Mason jars for drinking glasses for years now. Nothing better in my opinion. (Each to his own.) It all started with Longaberger canning jars and snowballed.

 



They are also carrying little pints. Maybe another size too…I can’t remember for sure.  Anyway…they are fun, and summeresque, and if you get tired of drinking out of them…can something. 😉


I hope that you all have a lovely weekend!

Love from the dirt road,

Kelli

p.s. I thought you might like to see the little light in our kitchen.

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.)
