It's too hilarious to me this CCClub........because I'm so jealous!!! Here my daughter is having an overnight with some "suburbanite chicks" and she takes over my beloved corn crib! Which I wanted to do instead of the so called "aviary" that it has become..........oh, my husband has big plans raising falcons and hawks.......but I'm getting meat birds, turkeys and hogs :) pigs can fly right? So, they made pancakes themselves, after checking the hen house for eggs........
(I "supervised")....then we made a skillet of stuff they went out to the garden to pick; zucchini, beans, onions, herbs.......wonderful job girls.......wonderful..........
anyhow, back to the club.............they came in wanting some 'things' to spruce it up, and I was ALL to willing to help give it to them......I didn't put up a thing, but I love what they did!!
seriously? these girls are so cute......
let's go take a look inside!!!!........
Their cowgirls hats that they nailed (so cute) up on the old fence that is just leaning up there........
this always freaks me out a bit, up so high, but how can I refuse?....well, I could, but why???
vintage doll clothes, and the girls' toy ironing board.......they even had a pulley system for hauling things up and down............

their details up there were so simply chicly rustic (that's high tech terminology for you who don't know interior decorating terms)......hee hee............

these girls were outside having a blast on the farm from sunup to sundown........
they made soup from the garden by squeezing tomatoes into a juice, adding herbs, green and yellow beans and scallions.....they were surprised to know they made a gazpacho! it was delicious, and having them here was so sweet......

p.s. when we first picked up the girls, one said: "well....I'm moving to the farm" and little precious said "great! now you're my sister!!" ......at time of leaving the one who said the above cried when saying goodbye....
I fought back the tears......how can you have too many children around?
life is grand! because of them......
grand indeed......
and I absolutely LOVE sharing my Na-Da Farm life with them and you.....
peace and blessings,

This would have been me as a little girl. I loved visiting my grandpa's farm and never wanted to leave. Lucky me, I now live on a ranch with hubby and mostly grown up kids doing what I always dreamed of.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special time you gave to these sweet girlies.
Jody
It's obvious they get their imagination from their Mom. It's so wonderful to see them at play and to have their friends experience the joys and work of living on a farm.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this time with us.
Carole
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
ReplyDeletethank you SO MUCH for all these wonderful comments.....you totally put smiles on our faces :)
This is the most adorable thing I have seen in a long time. I love how they dressed their little nest. Thanks for sharing this with us! You made my day.
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwww Anne marie...this is lovely and made my heart go nostalgic for my young days at my aunt's farm...I miss the clubhouse my cousins and I had between the chicken coop and the rabbits'place ;)
ReplyDeleteSweet sweet post and GIRLS!
Oh please can I come live in your corncrib?? How darling!!
ReplyDeleteI grew up on a small farm. Well it was a victorian house moved to a piece of land with some acreage and a long, one-story barn. Mom and dad had 4 kids and half the youth group over all the time. We LOVED living there. They still live there with 3 more kids they've adopted, my sister and her 5 kids too. Meanwhile my husband and I have 4 kids, live in a historic farmhouse but don't have a lick of land. We do, however, have old fashioned, retired neighbors so the kids run from one yard to the next. God is so good!!
Hope you have a lovely afternoon. Blessings.. Polly
