good morning friends.
i hope you all have had a wonderful week.
i have indeed.
some work…some play.
lunch with a friend at the beginning of the week…coffee with another friend at the end of the week.
special times that are icing on the cake of life.
just wanted to share some instagram photos from the last couple of days.
some time spent indoors and out.

a collage wall of farm/barn scenes. i can’t wait to add more.

my reading corner.
i look forward to the quiet time spent here each morning.
reading and reflecting on the day ahead.
don’t ya just love that old quilt.

it’s worn, but that just means it’s been well loved for many years.
it’s perfect for those chilly spring mornings.


i have finally started painting the brick in the kitchen.
i still have more to go. getting in all the nooks and crannies in a big pain in the behind.

the boys got back into the field.
this is eric filling the drill with soybeans

i loved watching him work in the field right around our house while i worked in my flower beds.

boone was my assistant for the day.
he tried to help me dig up the dirt. problem was he wanted to dig after i had everything set in place.
we’ll work on that

my little corner of the garage.
all set up for more planting.
the 45 mph sign was a gift from my husband at last years birthday.
nice huh?

i have quite the collection of old barn doors and gates.
i just love them. they dress up the boring old metal siding on all our outbuildings.
thanks for stopping by.
i hope you all have an amazing weekend.
happy mother’s day to all of you!!
xo!

I love your two corners
I would love to park myself on that bench in the last photo.
Good Morning Traci!
I LOVE your ‘collage wall’ of old barns and your little reading corner with the chair and quilt. I can picture you there with your morning coffee/tea with the old quilt over your lap keeping you warm. It’s been chilly here in the mornings too. It must be a wonderful feeling seeing your family working the land all around you…that’s the way it should be. LOL Boone is so cute! Your little potting area is perfect…I wish mine looked this neat and tidy
Love the sign and your barn doors etc. It’s all perfect. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to you, Traci. I truly think you have more than 2 children though – your farm, your dogs, your chickens, etc. Have a good day! Love you.
It looks great Traci!!!! I love the barn pictures.
Beautiful Traci! Happy Mothers Day!
Your quilt looks so comfy! Wishing you a wonderful Mother’s Day!
what you are doing around your farm and inside the shed is awesome….and I can’t wait to see all the flowers blooming this summer!! you should go with me to my minlaw’s to get some prairie seeds this autumn to scatter around the truck…let me know
what a lovely collection of photos. i love your gates/doors collection! i hope you had a nice mother’s day. suz
Good morning Traci!
You’re surrounded by beauty everywhere you look and that’ s surely a gift but I also know how much hard work it concerns!
For example the dog that wants to dig AFTER you have all tidy!
I perfectly know that!! Ah ah! Those funny little furry creatures…LOL!

Beautiful photos, Traci…even the 2nd time around! Love your reading corner:) And who doesn’t love a doggie who loves to dig??!? Brett & I have a lot of work to do to fix the “damage” that Boomer has done;) Hope you have better luck with Boone! Hoping your Mother’s Day was something wonderful.
Love your barn art….and I’m really loving those barn doors…and that bike ;o)

today…
i will be grateful for this day.
every part of it.
starting with the peaceful moments in the morning, just me, the birds chirping outside of my window, and my hot cup of coconut mocha coffee.
ending with kissing by husband and son goodnight.
and every moment in between.
