Greetings friends! I wanted to thank those that left me
comments about the last blog post and my journey on searching for a new place
to call home. A reader and friend, Mikilann,
hit it the nail on the head when she commented that I’d know the right place when it felt
like home. I was having serious bouts of reconciling my love of country living and
having another “farmette” with the realities of town living. The upcoming article in the next Home and
Harvest magazine talks a bit about my journey … so that is all I’ll say for
now.
I sort of consider myself an “old soul” and some of my favorite things that I
surround myself with are often times bought at estate sales, flea markets or antique
stores. It’s sort of comforting if they
have a scratch or two, or a stain and I like to think that those imperfections
had a great story behind it. To give you
an insight of how this crazy farm-chick brain works, I would look at stained
linens and think I’ll bet this happened at a Christmas dinner when Uncle Art’s toupee
fell off when he was laughing at a joke an spilled his wine…” you know, that sort of story that I create in
my mind. But back to my big announcement! I saw a place that spoke to my soul, it is
old but lovingly restored, there are some dents, imperfections and charm galore
to make my heart skip a beat. As of last
Friday, I am the official owner of vintage beauty which will now be the new location
for my S-Wheat Farm. The setting speaks
to my soul, as it is set amidst farm fields plus has a close up view of the mountains. A perfect blend for my love of wheat fields and the mountains that I grew up
with. Like my momma says, once a Montanan,
always a Montanan… guess she’s right. But I still need to see those rolling
hills of the Palouse.
Today as I was moving some stuff into the barn, one of my
neighbors stopped by to welcome me to the neighborhood. It warmed my heart and I knew I was home.
It is bittersweet to be moving, cleaning and readying my Genesee
place for the new owner – just like Spring, it is a new season and a new start
is on the horizon for this gal. I have lots of plans... and like it or not..... well I'm dragging you with me on the next round of adventures. Lol
