  • Welcome!

    I'm a farm wife, a mama and a photographer living in Virginia.

    My camera is typically filled with images of sunrises, dusty fields, even dustier children and whatever we happen to be planting or harvesting at the time.

    Thanks for visiting the farm!

Still Loving It

My kitchen just gets better and better everyday.

As you can see, I’ve made myself right at home and junked up these pretty shelves quite nicely.

It was bound to happen, y’all.  This kitchen was designed for homemade, country cooking – made to order three times a day. And usually I have about ten different things going on while I am trying to cook so everything had to be within reach, hence the open shelving scheme. See the little blue box of salt up there? I have two in the kitchen. One right there on the shelf, next to the flour to help support my husband’s daily pancake habit and the other by the stove for cooking dinner and supper. The stove is three feet away. Do I really need two boxes of salt? Probably not, but hey- if it saves a little time, it’s worth it.

Speaking of using the kitchen…

My friend Whitney gave me some green eggs the other day. The last two are there in the back of the bowl…

Shelby and Maggie thought that was hilarious. ACTUAL green eggs! Too bad I didn’t have any ham.

And Miss Vanity loves these glass fronted drawers.

I’m still not sure if she thinks she’s kissing a friend or kissing herself.

I love the blue! How many times have you had to clean the drawer windows? lol

How many times have I cleaned them? Or how many times SHOULD I have cleaned them??

The first number won’t be as much as the second!

I love “Miss Vanity”!!! Something tells me she’s going to need lots and lots of mirrors as a teenager!!!! She’ll be doing a lot of primping.

I am sure there is some ham to go with those green eggs!

I have a lot of extra containers of salt and pepper around mykitchen too. It does seem to save time when you do a lot of cooking. Love the glass drawer windows….is that part of your cabinets or did you move that seperately?? Stop over for a visit.

Those are part of the cabinets. Still trying to decide the best way to keep the flour and sugar fresh… any ideas?

And you’re getting your first frost? Wow. We’re feeling lucky to be in the 70′s!
