A snapshot of our farmhouse life ~


My sweet daughter-in-law Emily
took some wonderful pics around the farmhouse this past weekend....
I have to share a few with you ~
Here's Big Red...I love her ~ she was our first egg layer
and is SO the leader of the pack!




A shot of the front porch ferns through the shrubs....



The pecan trees on the side of our home...
They are so heavy with pecans right now too!



This photo of our angel Clara was taken by her mama....
she'd been rolling around in the pine straw!
This child loves, LOVES being outside.



This is one of Clara's chickens....she loves them so :)


This sweet pair of cherubs came from my former antique shop ~




Clara striking a pose in our back yard...



Such a wonderful pic below that Emily took:

Wishing you a great Tuesday precious friends!!!
hugs and love,
Dawn

Hello old friend...does that lil' Clara angel resemble her Granny or what, what a sweet lil' farm girl and us farm girls LUV our chickens!

Beautiful shots Dawn, the drought is getting to all of my beautiful landscapes, so sad, as summer is short enough as it is for us Northuners!

I will be using hydrogen peroxide to bleach the bone, just pour in a bucket...this is a first for me too, so I'll let ya know of my results.

Good to talk to ya my creative lil' friend!!!

That is a great picture.. When we travel up into Arkansas we take pictures of old barns....... Something about them that just says picture this!

What a talent Emily has for capturing the honesty of farm living. I love these.
That first photo of Clara is just amazing (although all of 'em are pretty darn cute), but I believe you could sell that image of her to use on art projects. Fantastic.

Dawn,
Ohmygoodness that pic of Clara with the big eyes is so, SO precious! That would be such a great painting or something. I should get Chelsea to do it! She is growing up fast girl. That Emily is a great photographer isn't she? The barn shot is amazing!
Love you girl!

I had originally missed these photos taken by your Oh-So-Talented DIL. Gracious, Emily needs to have an Etsy store at the very least. I love the big-eyed, straw-in-the-hair Clara, and also the rusty hinge-padlock barn shot. They truly "speak to me". Such a talented family!
