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.

Spring Break

Are you guys on Spring Break in your area?  We started on Monday and it’s always a welcomed break.  No bedtime routine, no homework, no hurried mornings.  I enjoy every break with the kids though.  I’m that crazy mom that hopes and prays for snow days during the winter too.  It’s just a good feeling when the chicks are in the nest.

I have been doing a bit of spring decorating around the Farmhouse. My mom and family usually come to our house on Easter…so it’s fun to have a few things out.  Plus, after winter…a bit of bright and cheery feels so good!  This will be Sweetie Pie Muffin Man’s first Easter.  (My nephew.  Yes…I give everyone a nickname/moniker.) How sweet is that?

This picture was taken in the evening, as you can tell, so the light wasn’t the greatest.  I was gifted with  a new scale (scales) though and “needed” to post it on IG.  My granny is blown away by the fact that I would want something like this in our home.  lol!  The older set cannot wrap their minds around us junkin’ women,  and our love of old, rusty, chippy, things. (I guess if your aren’t into farmhouse style…you probably can’t either.  Don’t fall out with me. You are not old. lol!) Another thing about this shot…my hand is in it.  Oh well…you win some…you lose some…and sometimes you just get a ribbon for participation. Ha!

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!

Trusting and Junking

Last night in our mid-week service, our pastor’s wife talked about the verse above.  It’s found in the book of Proverbs in the Bible, chapter 3, verses 5-6.  It was wonderful.  I needed to hear that.  This is the verse that we had inscribed on my dad’s stone.  It’s also the only verse that I know of that he memorized.  He read his Bible each day…but quoting wasn’t one of his things.  This lesson was balm to my heart.  I just needed it for lots of areas in my life.  I’m sure that most people do.  Life is beautiful and wonderful and I live in awe of it…but it is also hard.  Even in that…God is so very good.  Expecting good things…I believe that God wants us to do that.  Trusting…comes into play there.

Now…about the junking.  Isn’t this little guy so sweet?  I’m not sure why I have been so drawn to these little vintage dogs of late.  I think that it might be the era.  I love vintage prints, especially with trees. (I got one of those too…I will have to show you…soon.)  This little guy reminds me of a doggy that is on my Granddad’s dresser. His grandma bought it for him, when he was a little boy, I do believe.  I love things like that.  This one is actually a bank.  His head comes off…so you can get the money out.  Something is missing from his collar…but I still love him.  His crackly goodness is very appealing to this vintage-loving soul.

Have you been needing to trust a little more lately?  Sometimes fear rises up…and tells us all sorts of bad things.  Trusting God…helps us take a deep breath.  We all need that…don’t we?  What about junking?  Have you found any treasures like the two dollar dog?  I would love to hear about either subject.  Leave me a comment and I will try to get back to you.

Have a wonderful Thursday, sweet Dirt Roaders,
