Our old farmhouse...

Our old farmhouse sits atop a nice big hill. The views are breathtaking! The long gravel driveway is fine, (until Winter!) and we are surrounded by pastures. 

I'm quite frugal, My Farmer is too. So we try not to use heat or air, or even my dryer, if there's another way. Which leads me to my post...our old farmhouse was built prior to central air conditioning. So we sit stop this hill with windows on every side of our house. We have lots of sun in the daytime and perfect natural breezes. I'm so grateful for the fact that I can open windows and have the most amazing breeze run thru our home! The smell of fresh air, the curtains flipping around the room, I...LOVE...IT!!!! I'm an outdoors person anyway, so what better way to bring the outdoors in! 

I'm thankful for the people back almost 100 years ago who built this house, who based it's location on the weather, who took the time to know the land and know the farm. With their foresight and skill, they crafted our home. A home that I love, a home that I've never felt more comfortable in, a home that fits us, a home that feels like home more than any place else, a home filled with love. 💗

Well, time to get back outside! We are getting the farm ready for our upcoming field trips!

This picture is the before. It sat empty for awhile.

The picture below is the after, from this weekend.
