But just one more thing before I put my head here:
Pray as a family.
It's the way we end our day here at the Red Farmhouse.
I found that interesting, lovely house. I shall have to read some of your older blogs to find out more about it. I love that your family prays together every night, I am a Christian are you all?
ReplyDeleteI have spent the last half an hour reading your old posts, I have decided to follow your blog. You are welcome to visit me some time too if you would like to.
ReplyDeleteYou make me tired Kim! What a busy day you guys had, but full of the most important things--like cherry pie!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and so glad I did! You are living my dream, I'm so happy for you! I am a new follower and look forward to going back to your posts and getting to know you!

I found your blog linked to on Facebook by The Farm Chick. We built a barnhouse, too. And we just finished our Spelling Power lesson for the day. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kim for sharing. I just found your blog and will be following closely. May God bless you and yours :)
ReplyDeleteLove your farm and your blog. Thanks for sharing. Florence
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Kim! So glad I found your blog today...loved reading a few of your recent posts...
ReplyDeleteYou're doing what I've always dreamed of...a family hobby farm. We're just on one acre right now, built our dream home and are carving out bits of garden here and there, but someday I'd love to do what you're doing...so much work, I know, but...!
Love that you end the day with family prayer as we do...no other way, in my mind!
I'll be following along...have a beautiful (busy!) day!
Julie
P.S. just saw that you love Jane Austen movies...me too! I have them all, in every version known to man! My favorite diversion...

I'm so glad I found your blog. I was raised in the country on a farm but moved to the city as a teenager and now feel stuck here. I too would love to move back to the country and have a little farm. For now I'll live vicariously through you! Thanks so much.

loved it!
ReplyDeletenice day, very nice. today was a putter day, tomorrow will be wild. Kids have the day off from school, but 7th grade boys have basketball practice at 6:15am. Thanks coach...
ReplyDeleteMet you at church Kim and had no idea this blog existed. I grew up on a farm and wanted the same for my children. I managed to raise them on a small farm but not nearly as neat as yours. They loved it and we have great memories.
