Sunday's Around the Farm and today, outside the hardware store. Thanks for visiting!



Screen reducing sunshine through kitchen sink window.

Finished bookcase, per Laurie.

And how she transported heavy furniture from her "moving van" horse trailer

Laurie's furniture finishing solutions —

Our long un-used UNO game —

Shadow's All-Important Cookie Jar!

Outside for Maddie's bath —"Mom, what're you doin' to me? That water's COLD!"

Maddie's Good Girl Reward — Loose Horse in the expansive yard.

In the time-honored tradition of saving the best for last — Laurie emerges

When it lifted up it could crush your foot. Had more power than a locomotive. I lived, somehow.

You have a lovely home, yard, animals, and spouse. I wish I had Laurie’s ambition! Mr. D used to refinish furniture. It’s quite a project. Your bookcase is beautiful.
