When I called Darcy on Tuesday and asked how she was,
she replied......"cold".
"Why?" I said
"Well, we are out of propane and refuse to buy more at this point, she exclaimed &
the weather is supposed to be very warm by the end of the week, she said."
Darcy said, "I could take a hot bath, but then I would need to get out so what's the point of taking a hot bath!"
She then stated, "I even got back in bed and took a nap as it was nice and cozy under the blankets!"
Kudos to Darcy & her family for bundling up and using less energy.......
Now, here's a tour of her farmhouse:
Darcy's style: Antiquing meets garage sale meets Anthropologie meets Goodwill meets
McMaster & Storm meets trend-less, but timeless =Darcy

The End.
Love it. Soaking in each picture and resting easy because I don't have to dust this place. I've only been in the room that used to be her store, and now I've been inside. Sort of, in a computer relationship kind of way. Thanks for sharing. I love house pictures.

Washington is as wonderful as ever. It was 84 Monday, and I decided, like Darc, that we did not need anymore furnace oil. This morning our house was 52degrees. ;(
