What's Going On The Farm Today

It's a cloudy day as you can see from these pics. I always tell my husband that I think Florida has the best clouds I have ever seen. The bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds. When my children were little we would lay on the ground and try to find animals that were hiding in them.

 

The cows and a horse or two are hanging out in a shady spot. They do like having their pictures taken. But I think they see the carrots and apples in my basket. 

They don't usually pose for me but again they have seen their treats. 

It is a quiet afternoon on the farm. 

The 2 youngsters are fitting right in and growing into healthy milking cows. 

I know that once they get their treats they will go back to what they were doing. Eating grass, and hay, then a drink from the buckets I just filled.  I guess it is time to check the hen house and collect fresh eggs. Then to weed the garden and see what veggies are ready to be harvested for dinner. 

Everyone Gets Breakfast On The Farm

Life on the farm starts pretty early. The cows have to be milked, the chickens, pigs, horses and cattle have to be fed. Then after that is done there is a hot meal waiting back in the kitchen. Enjoy the pics, some are very cute. 

The kids love helping feed the calves. 

Some find breakfast on their own. 

We are sticking close to mom. 

Yes, even horses know what they want. 

Nothing like a hearty breakfast for the farm hands. 

What Color Can Do For Your Country Farm Kitchen

It always amazes me what a little color can do for your kitchen. Be it just one color,  a montage of pastels  or bright bold hues. Along with your collections of bowls, baskets and kitchenware the less colorful items will still fit right in.


Flea markets and thrift stores are your best bet for finding your treasures. Even tag sales can be so much fun. The mark up in a antique store makes the prices higher. But if you find something that you just can't live without, buy it. It may not be there again.

Colorful vintage rolling pins can make a statement as well as you beautiful French red enamelware canister set.
