Farmhouse Friday - A Few Weeks in Pictures

 Good Morning

It's Farmhouse Friday - just don't ask me what week it is.  Mine have been a blur.  I don't think I mentioned this, but my mother in law passed on August 5.  She was a wonderful mother, grandmother and friend.  She was 89 and we weren't ready yet...  In 7 weeks since her passing, we (the family) took items from the home we each wanted, we sold some, had a sale at her home, donated some and tossed some.  The house is on the market as of October 1.  So, that's what I've been doing.  In addition to my keeping my office and business going and still helping on Wednesdays home school my granddaughter.  Oh and organizing the Ringle Harvest Day which is the flea market that started on our farm 28 years ago.  It now takes over, basically the whole community.  

Here are a few highlights of the past couple weeks.

I revived "doughdee" my sourdough starter.  

I won this cool crocheted bag from my friend Nancy's give away.  Here is a link to her Facebook page:  Nancy's Hook n Needle

On Wednesdays I help home school - only in art and home economics (wink, wink).  I do go over reading and flash cards, but by the time I come over so Justine can go to work, Lauren is pretty much done with her other stuff.   I did the post about the country of the week with China.  We've studied Australia, Ireland, Mexico and this past week she had a field trip to the Little Red School House.  So we did a Laura Ingals Wilder day.

Fairy houses for Ireland...

"Ma's Johnny Cakes" and Short bread cookies...(ours was a fail, but tasted good)  

apple sauce/chutney/gravy....thick cooked down spicy apples - so good! 

Well, that's about it.  My flowers are still blooming.  We have had a dry, beautiful fall so far.  I was up early today, its still dark...I may go lay back down....wink, wink
