Farmhouse Tale {Earth Day}

Wednesday, April 22, 2009

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

Here's a peek into Darcy's life in her farmhouse she shares with her loved ones!

a little birdie told me....
"you will soon be 12".........
so I twirled and swirled in the meadow.........
let's climb the mossy woodland hill........
sweetly I step.........
lovely woodland discoveries......

let me have a closer look........

I took my "growing-up-too-fast" daughter for some photo shoots on Saturday. We had a ball just being spontaneous........
I let McKell edit her own pics, {with a tad bit of help} she loved doing this. She is 11 going on 12 in a few months. Wow, we must enjoy every sweet moment and let the times together be well loved. Enjoy every moment as youth will be a distant whisper someday.....

Love,
Darcy
