I will be updating this post later this afternoon. Right now I have to shower and start supper. I am cooking butterbeans and pork chops and I have no idea at the moment what else.
Notes:
Hoss - The top of the house is an attic. It is a full attic with windows front and back. It could be a great room with an incredible view. It has a full walk up staircase just like the one in my downstairs front hall and my back staircase. It will be a long time before I get to the point we will actually do anything other than use it for storage. The kids do play up there sometimes. It is well lit with tongue and groove hardwood flooring. Up until recent years the house was knob and post electric wiring. Some of it is still in excellent shape too. The knobs and tubes are visible up there. We were told it might be a Sears house but have done a lot of research and Miss Ethel said it was NOT a Sears house. Her Daddy planned it and built it for her mother. I have a lot of history to document on this old place.
Susie - Come help me! Bring the boys. They can play in the barns and run wild in the back field.
MommaK - Bring your work gloves. We don't sit still for long. We can have tea inbetween hauling and cutting.
MistressMary - I am taking a break today. It is raining down here. AGAIN!
What a beautiful place!
I would LOVE to be be in your shoes restoring that cool house (which so reminds me of my grandparents)and land and finding hidden gates and old roses.
You lucky thing.
Someday, I'd love to come see your garden. It sounds like a great way to spend the day:)
You are something else, Miss Angie. I love puttering around in my yard but my efforts cannot be compared to yours.
Keep those pictures coming! And sit down and rest for a minute or two, ok?
I may have to live vicariously through your settled life. The military is bound to take us here and there for years to come.
I repeat: Can I move in with you?
Land sakes, you must be in great condition! (Into which you're getting the south 40, too.)
Thanks for the response re/attic.
Angie, I can't see your pictures, wwwahaaaaaaa!
And to think I was going to just hire some darked skinned hottie to do my gardening-now I feel like a lazy shmuck- Oh wait, I have a hottie gardner- My husband- whose still a looker at 50!
Your place is amazing, can I come over to play?
Sounds good to me:-)
I can't wait to landscape my front yard!! You are in my dream house!!! I'm comin' over for coffee...here I am knocking on your door!! Helllooooo?????
You have a back staircase and a full attic with hardwood floors? I may have to beat you up and steal your house.
I am not on dial-up, Angie. We have an external modem - broadband. Today was the first time your photos did not load for me, so I thought you may have changed something on the site.
