Farmhouse Life

 

There is something so sweet, lovely and uncomplicated about 
farm house life.



Yes there are lots of chores, yet they seem like a pleasure when they
are done in a less hectic atmosphere.  A more gentle and pure way
of living.



So even if we live in the city or the suburbs, we can bring that quality of 
living into our own homes by striving to make our lives simple and 
less complicated.

I am linking up to these Friday Parties

Bentley ~ I see you peeking through the fence to see the neighbor's chickens.
Are you absolutely sure you would not like some of your own???

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    I agree with you about holding on tight to the country. I moved to the country and then they started building things closer to me. ;pve the quilts in the chair and your boots..

    I've always chosen the country lifestyle over the city, despite having experienced both.
    Yours is so beautiful and realxing.
    Love your pictures, they say it all !

    I sold my farm house, one big room, to buy, My Old Historic House. I miss it most this time of year and Christmas coming up. Thanks for sharing. Richard

    I think I could easily live on a farm surrounded by chickens.

    I loved being on the farm at Granny and Grandpa's. Such a wonderful simple time. I loved it when Granny and I would pack a picnic lunch to take to Grandpa and his partner, Cash, to the fields and we would all eat under a big shade tree. Such a great memory for me.
    Love and hugs, sister...
    Bentley, definitely think you should have a chickie friend!

    What a sweet and serene post!
    Love it.

    And give that poor Bentley some chickens. He'd take good care of them, I'm sure. :-)

    I agree, it's not where we live, but how we live that matters. In all things!
    Beautiful photos and vignettes.

    Yes, I agree! Many of my summers growing up were spent with my grandparents on their farm! I really learned how to work and so many other things I loved about the farm! Very lovely photographs! Thank you for visiting my blog! I'm a new followed.
