- Two Days And Counting...
Yesterday was a work day unlike any the farm has ever seen. Every inch of the property was manicured.No blade of grass went untouched. The property looks the best it has ever looked.Even the perennials are cooperating.Everything is in full bloom.Spectacular!...
- Three Days And Counting....
It's been hot and sticky here all week.High humidity...thanks to all of the torrential downpours that have accompanied thunderstormsalmost every other day.I think in the last two weeks we have received at least 10 inches of rain. We are quite soggy,...
- Slowing Down, Now Full Speed Ahead!

Sunday brought a welcome relief from the bitter cold of the previous week.You know it's been cold when 32 degrees feels balmy!(Saturday evening when we were outside, it was 3 degrees.) This sunrise was the first sign that Sunday would be a warmer...
- My World In A Droplet
Several weeks ago I spent a Saturday morning at an auction.It was the Saturday that I found that great railroad baggage cart. You might also remember that I bought 48 crystal chandelier teardrops.And, at that time I said that I had a plan for those teardrops....

Tomorrow.....Almost Here
You guys crack me up.
Truly.
You want to see the bathrooms.
Ok....you asked....
Actually, they are pretty spectacular as bathrooms go!
Flush toilets... hot and cold running water... all the amenities...
with some little touches that we added...
nice soap, nice towels and a basket of necessities.
As for the tent...
some decorating was done yesterday...
more to be done (and finished) today!
This area is for cards, gifts, and the guest "book"....
which is actually a canvas print of a tree and guests can sign the blossoms.
Isabella, my antique dress form, will be in charge of this area.
This antique suitcase will serve as a card depository.
Remember that old railroad wagon that I bought last summer at the auction?
It's our dessert table.
The scales will hold the small wedding cake.
Surrounding the cake will be several types of cupcakes.
On the other half of the wagon will be several varieties of whoopee pies...
displayed in various fruit crates...
some of which will be set on top of this antique butter churn and crate.
Today we set up the chairs for the ceremony
between this arbor and the gazebo.
Signage will be put in place,
bars will be equipped
and tables will be set with linens and centerpieces.
It's another busy, busy day...but the last of them.
Tomorrow we party!!
Most of the day is to be nice....however tropical storm "Bill" is to affect us around
6 PM with rain.
We'll make the best of it no matter what!
