Good morning!! Finally enjoying a little nicer weather here in Ohio so I've been out working on the flower and garden beds a bit. I decided this year I would like to try my hand at composting after seeing how many food scraps we throw out even though we do throw out them into our field. This way I can get some benefit from them. Since this is a first time, I didn't want to invest a lot of money and time into a bin in case I don't continue. So off to Pinterest I went. Seriously, what did we do before that glorious website emerged? It makes us feel like we can do anything!!! I love it!! Here is a link to the one I thought I would try. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It takes wire hardware cloth or chicken wire, metal posts and heavy wire to hook it all together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had intentions of putting it together and posting pics of the process, but my husband and son put it up for me yesterday while I was gone so here is the finished project. I put a few sticks in the bottom so air can circulate some through it. Then topped it with some old leaves and some vegetable scraps. I'm still searching Pinterest for what to compost and what not to, but I definitely feel it is something I will continue. I'll keep you posted on the progress!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spring is the season that is supposed to give us warm days, sunshine and an abundance of ambition that we most times lack during the long never-ending winter months...at least here in Ohio. Well, this spring has given us very little of these blessings. We have had only a handful of warm days to be outside freshening up flower beds and dragging all of the garden decor out of the little shed. Most days have been so cloudy and windy it's not even fun to be out. I have actually accomplished more spring cleaning this year than before. Only a couple of more rooms. I usually put it off because I like to have the house opened up a bit while I clean. Then poof, suddenly it's beautiful outside and I'm like it's way too nice outside to be inside cleaning!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We farm for a living and normally this time of year brings the tractors and planters out in full force. They are sitting idle waiting for the weather to cooperate. It has rained and rained and rained. We have learned though that you never wish for the rain to stop only to slow down a bit to get the work in. If you wish for it to stop, well, frankly we can go for weeks in the summer when we really need it without a drop!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I would share a couple of my spring flower beds with you. And my lonely little garden just waiting for herbs and tomatoes and such. Notice the "cat path" leading from the garden to the house. Heaven forbid the cats walk outside of the path!!</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hello. I have been away from here for so long that I was surprised that I was able to get back into it!! Over the past couple of years, yes, it's actually been that long, a lot has happened to keep me away. Mostly, I feel like it was lack of content and a developing interest in other areas of crafting. I found myself getting out of the painting and repurposing items mainly because my stack of things to redo became so large!! We have all been there, buying a few more things than we have room for just because it is such a bargain and it will be so perfect when it's done. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have been focusing on my blackened beeswax items and my Etsy shop. My items are both seasonal as well as everyday decor for your primitive/colonial/farmhouse look. The items are hand poured with pure beeswax dyed black and HEAVILY scented with a cinnamon oil and dusted lightly with a very FRAGRANT cinnamon. Here are a few of the spring and everyday items that I offer. I currently have over 200 listings to choose from. I also offer wholesale to shops and vendors. If you are interested in that route, please email me for a current price list. Here is the link to my shop....</span></div>

Hello! I've decided to take this rainy day and show some updates of chocolate garden. When I planted them back in mid April, they looked so tiny and I wasn't sure they would make it. It was so cold and rainy for the longest time and they just wouldn't grow. It finally warmed up, but became so dry. I was always out watering.</div>

So finally, the weather has evened out a bit and they are beginning to look good. I was disappointed that more of my seedlings didn't sprout, but I really don't think I would have had room for them all if they had. My spacing could have been better when I transplanted also, but they were so little!! </div>

I have Nasturtiums in the front that I started with seeds in the garden. Behind those are a couple of Sweet Williams. I had trouble getting them to sprout and grow so I only had a few to transplant. Next are the chocolate flowers. They are doing very well!! Then there are the Dahlias. They are budding right now so soon there will be flowers. The Rudbeckia are next. They are growing very well, but I'm thinking since they are perennials, they probably will not bloom this season. I will definitely have to do some transplanting since they are too close together. Next are the chocolate wild carrot that have a few buds as well. Finally, the chocolate sunflowers are in the back. They are just the perfect size and have the most beautiful blooms. </div>

The chocolate flowers are supposed to have a chocolate scent, but I don't really notice it. My little friend, Felix, is posing. Someone dumped him and his brother, Oscar, off in the middle of the night. So, now we have two more kitties! They are sweet little guys. </div>

I have a couple of pepper plants and tomatoes mixed in as well. Next to this garden is my Herb Garden. I have always had a few herbs but never in one spot. I have 3 barrels that I have Chocolate Mint, which smells as good as it sounds, regular Mint, and Lemon Balm. The barrels keep them under control as they really spread. <br />

My Cilantro (top left) has now become Coriander and needs to be trimmed back. I read to plant cilantro seeds every two weeks to keep a continuous supply. I may try that or just put it in a pot so I can keep it out of the hot sun. It is a cooler weather plant. <br />

Hello! I wanted to post a picture of the progress my Chocolate Garden is making. As of today, almost two weeks since planting, the Chocolate Viola is the only plant that hasn't sprouted any seedlings at all!! The germination on those is a little later, so I'm hoping that is why they aren't up yet. It has been cool, so today I put a heating pad under the tray for a bit to warm them up!! I have been spritzing them with a water bottle a couple of times to keep the pellets wet. </div>

I am ready to get outside and start working on flower beds. The cool and rainy weather is getting rather tiresome.

The bright pop of color that flowers bring is a welcome addition to the spring landscape. </div>

A Chocolate Garden? Sounds like something only found in Heaven!! This garden will be a feast for the eyes (hopefully) more so than the palette (with the exception of a couple of plants). What gave me the inspiration for this new project was a plant I purchased at the end of last summer. It was a cute perennial with little yellow flowers and brown centers that promised the fragrance of chocolate. I did a little searching on line and found a wonderful site. Chocolate Flower Farm. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
www.chocolateflowerfarm.com. How did I never hear of this before?? I decided to purchase the Chocolate Garden Favorites bag that comes with seeds for 6 flower varieties as well as a delicious chocolate smelling votive. In it were seeds for more Chocolate Flowers, Sunflowers, Violas (edible), Hollyhocks, and Sweet William. It was to include Pincushion Flowers as well, but Chocolate Wild Carrot was substituted. I was excited about this because I really wanted those but didn't get them because I thought there was a large extra shipping charge associated with them. When I told my husband, he said, "That's a weed, you know?". Leave it to the farmer!! Anyway, I also purchased seeds for Nasturtiums, Dahlias, and a beautiful Rudbeckia 'Green Wizard. </div>

Each variety comes packaged and labeled so well. There are also sowing instructions included with each . There are six of them that require they be sown indoors 6-8 weeks before planting. I was going to start this last week but didn't get to it. Hopefully they will first actually sprout, and then more importantly, grow well enough to be transplanted outside. I tend to over care for plants by giving them too much water. I promise to be more careful this time!!</div>

I'm sure there is an appropriate tool that "real" greenhouse gardeners use to fluff up the pellets. I don't have one of whatever that is, so toothpicks it was for me!! I used them to push back some of the mesh, fluff up the dirt, and gently cover the seeds. </div>

Since many of these seeds are super tiny, I also used the tip of the toothpick to pick them up and put them into the pellet. I put two seeds in some of the pellets because I only had another large greenhouse and I didn't want to use it for just a few seeds. I'm hoping I don't regret that. </div>

Good afternoon. After a long absence from blogging, my hope is to jump back in and share some of the projects I am working on. In the time of my absence, I have been busy with life as we all are. Our son, the baby, is a senior this year and we have just finished up an amazing season of basketball. As freshmen, the varsity team was 1-21. Each year since has shown steady improvement. This year they finished at 23-2. League (12-0) and Sectional Tourney Champs. It has been a wonderful ride. Now that it is over, the scramble to finish his scrapbooks and plan for a graduation party are on the agenda. I keep thinking if I don't plan, he won't really graduate and we can have a do over!!! </div>

This is one of my favorite ways to decorate a tree. I dry orange slices and string cranberries. After Christmas, I put red silicone lights on with the white ones and replace the oranges with heart ornaments. </div>

When we brought our tree in a few weeks ago, I had enough time to put lights and a burlap garland on. We then went on about a two week run where we had something almost every night of the week. And as you can see, it is still not decorated. I think I like the "simple" aka "lazy" look!!</div>

Good afternoon. I hope you are having a wonderful summer day. It is getting very warm here No complaints from me because I really do not like being cold!! Since I last posted in May....where has the time gone??... we have had so much rain. This is a very strange thing for us because we usually miss most of the wet stuff in the summer. The crops are looking very good for the most part and all of the wheat has been harvested. </div>

I started an herb garden this year. It's not as organized as I'd like. I didn't any planning and just planted a few things here and there. I may have to revamp it next summer. I made these cute little plant markers from some old silverware found at an antique shop. </div>

I forget the name of these flowers, but they have just gone crazier than normal this summer. The name starts with Heli....something. I can never remember. They spread like wildfire so I'm always pulling them out from where they are not supposed to be. You can barely see the white picket fence behind them because they are so tall!</div>

And this is the front. The grill on the right is for wood fires. I used it last fall and made chili in a cast iron pot. It was yummy. We just made popcorn on it a week ago and it turned out really good too. It takes more planning than I usually give to a meal. That's when the gas grill comes in handy!</div>

That's it for today. Time to do some Santa making or sampler stitching. The stitching will probably win out since I am probably going to plunk on one of these lounge chairs with my buddies to stitch and catch a few rays of sun. I can see a bonfire in the plans for tonight with of course some yummy smores!! Take care!! Thanks for stopping by.</div>

Hello. I think warmer weather, for the most part, has finally found us. I have finished planting my gardens and flower beds. At least I say I'm done until I find more plants to fill all the spots that just aren't quite full. I am totally a perennial plant addict. All of the flower beds around the house are filled with them. I enjoy watching them grow and change through the seasons. It is more work that having shrubs and bushes around, but to me, it is worth the extra effort!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took a walk around the yard this morning before it starts to get too warm and the rain comes. I snapped a few pictures to show how things are growing. Here is my buddy, Benny. He is one of two "kittens" I bottle fed and babied most of last fall and winter. He is a sweetie and likes to follow me around and water things!</div>

This is the new garden we added earlier this spring. The pod corn and red stalker corn is really taking off. I was disappointed with some of the pod corn. I had some seed from last year and planted that in addition to the new seed from this year. As hubby always tells me, old seed doesn't usually grow. And in this case, he was right. So instead of 8 rows, I only have six. Darn!! I'm hoping everything is going to green up now that it's warmer. Plants look a little anemic!!<br />

Finally, along the back sidewalk are my coral bells. This spring I added the iron bed to give a little height to the area. I have seen them woven full of twigs, and that was my intention. Until I get the ambition to do that, it will just be plain. I made the gazing ball last summer out of a blue thrift store bowling ball and lots and lots of pennies. I love the subtle sparkle it adds!</div>

Hello!!!! Gosh, it has been forever since I have posted. I guess daily life takes over!! To be totally honest too, so many of you have such amazing blogs, talents, and projects to share, I feel a bit intimidated! Since it is spring and time for new beginnings, I'm going to jump into this again and hopefully be more successful with sticking with it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My newest project is an expansion of an existing vegetable garden. I have had the one on the right for several years and just last year added the barrels and fence. This year I decided to add on a bit more with construction help from my husband! I usually "borrow" a corner of my son's sweet corn patch for pumpkins, gourds, specialty corn and anything else that looks interesting. By having a larger area of my own, I won't have to take his. This is after the railroad ties were put in.</div>

Here it is all filled in with dirt and the fence moved. My first thought is there sure is a lot of room for weeds to grow!!! I love gardening, but weeding is not my thing!! I had a grandfather who stood in his garden all day and as soon as a week poked through, he would dig it up. Oh, how I wish I had inherited that gene!!!</div>

Here are two of the specialty corn plants I am growing. I grew pod corn two years ago, but then couldn't find seed last year. I ordered extra early this year. I am also trying the Red Stalker Corn. I'm not really sure what it is, but the picture looked interesting!</div>

It was nice and warm last weekend, and I was able to get a couple of my flower beds cleaned up and ready. Cold wind and rain have taken over for a few days with frost expected so I guess I'll be inside spring cleaning or stitching one of my pillow tucks. Stitching sounds way more fun, but I'm sure it will be the cleaning!! </div>

Harvest is in full swing with the beautiful weather we have been blessed with. I have most of the fall decorating done outside. We had lots of pumpkins this year so I have them everywhere. Planning to keep all of the stems to use in crafts next year! </div>

This is our smoke house. I just reclaimed it this summer since the kids are no longer little. It used to be a storage area for all of their outside toys. I have started to decorate it with things I've had around. The ironing board isn't what you would find in a normal smoke house.....just thought it would be cute in there with the other laundry items. </div>

I'm not sure about the rest of you, but the rain this summer has been CRAZY!! Last year we couldn't buy a drop and our crops suffered so terribly bad. This year it seems it is raining almost everyday. We are on a bit of a reprieve right now so wheat harvest is going full tilt!! Here is our soon to be senior, Emily, in the field with her dad waaayyy in the background. </div>

This is our little smoke house. It is now finally becoming mine to decorate. It has been a dumping spot for kids' toys, bikes, and whatever for years. I decided it was time for me. I am trying to find things on the cheap to decorate. I have most of the outside done and now am trying to find some cute things for inside.</div>

This is our pumpkin patch. Now, I will start by telling you that every year when I plant hills of pumpkins, only half, if I'm lucky, ever grow. So keeping this in mind, I planted 6 hills with 4 seeds per hill this year. Well, I'm here to tell you that EVERY single seed grew. I will hopefully have more pumpkins than I know what to do with this year!! Our sweet corn patch is in the background. We have an acre of it that this year our son is taking over and selling. </div>

I have added some new items to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/farmfieldprimitives?ref=si_shop">Etsy</a> shop recently. I have changed the scent of my ivory beeswax items to cinnamon instead of vanilla. I can still do vanilla on special order if you would like. All of my beeswax items are available in blackened or ivory beeswax. I don't have all the options listed yet, so if you would like something that isn't shown, please let me know. The ivory items are a bit more than the blackened ones due to the price difference in the wax. Thanks for your understanding!!</div>

Hello!! After taking too much time off, I am back. Hopefully I can keep a bit more current. I haven't been working on anything new or changing up my décor, so I didn't feel like there was much to share. I wanted to share my patriotic decorating. My utility room has become one of my favorite rooms to decorate since we remodeled a couple of years ago. It's small so it seems less daunting to change up. This dry sink was purchased about 20 years ago and was used for a changing table for all of our kids. It now holds stoneware, a wooden bowl and my whisk broom collection. </div>

This blackened beeswax cupboard hanger was one of my newest offerings this summer. The mold is from Homespun Heart Prim on Etsy. She has beautiful molds. This particular hanger is made of heavily scented cinnamon blackened beeswax. I also am beginning to make items out of white beeswax tinted ivory with a vanilla scent. These items are available in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/farmfieldprimitives?ref=si_shop"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Etsy</span></a> shop.</div>

Hello!! I hope you are all doing well. Just like many of you, I seem to be getting busier all the time and it seems there aren't enough hours in the day to get done what I plan. Maybe I plan too much?? Anyway, I just wanted to share some of the decorating I have done. I didn't do much last year because of our kitchen remodel so this year I was so excited to get it out. This post is very short on words, but I hope the pics speak to you!</div>

I haven't been outside to decorate yet. We had corn all around us and I never cut any for a corn shock this year. I think I was just tired of looking at short yucky corn stalks an I just wanted them gone. I don't even have any pumpkins yet. That is this weekend's job. Here is a "pile" of kitties trying to stay warm. I have a dog, um, cat house, right out back for them. Apparently it's more fun to pile up on each other to stay warm!! Crazy kitties!!</div>

Hello!!!! For all of you who may have wondered, no....I didn't fall off the edge of the earth. I am still around and trying to get some organization back to my schedule since summer is almost over and the kids are all back in school. Seems when I had things to write about, I didn't have time, and when I had the time, things were rather boring. So, anyway, I'm back. Thanks to all those who have stuck with me. </div>

We had a terribly, and I mean terribly dry summer. Crops looked horrible, grass was dying, flowers were just existing with the constant watering I did every night. Here is my poor garden. I had such high hopes for it early on. It still fared better than years past so it was a successful project. I thought I took a picture when the sunflowers were blooming, but I guess not. Better luck next year with it!! </div>

The US 127 garage sale happened again this year. Here are the goodies I was able to pick up. We didn't go far at all because it was so hot!! I'm not the die-hard garage saler I would like to think I am. My favorite piece is the old lantern. It was only $3!! I have been looking for one for quite a while. </div>

Hello, everyone. As I was reading other blogs today, I looked back and noticed the date of my last post was over a month ago! I do not know where the time has gone! I guess the little things each day just seem to add up and soon the time just slips quietly away. We are preparing for a graduation this spring and the nice weather we had in early March made it possible to get out and get some yard work done. I'm glad for that because now it is cold and rain is coming this weekend. This is my garden.....poor pitiful thing!!! Every year, I vow to do something different to spruce it up. I always grow too much and by mid summer, I often let the weeds take over. Not this year!!! I have a plan. This is what it started as, and hubby and I spent way too much time digging these weeds out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxttf3nlEn59m3LhXxVUIW5sm4qWK3LOTe4DUhyphenhyphenlGkGQeQShDWu3TmTYd1g203x0bOAfalclXLHJamVuRtKLGYGKwjeRRJBf80bmgH76gO9biVGCD7TYNWn5LpMiUj1cqgM8GNqOpxfo3Q/s320/075.JPG" width="320" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next step was to put up a fence. My lofty goal was to make a stick fence or one of old barn siding. Maybe I should have started those projects last fall and winter! Anyway, because of time constraints, (I wanted the fence now) and farming starting (hubby wouldn't be around much to help me), I decided this picket fence would work just as well. So off he went to Menard's and picked up 4 sections. He had it up in no time!! Love the fence but not the color. I want old and weathered without waiting. So I looked online for various weathering techniques. Then I decided to just stop by the local Ace and see what they had. I found a semi-transparent latex stain line for decks and siding that they carry (Wood Royal). It is the weathered walnut colored one. I can't give you the exact name as all of my label seems to be covered in stain!! So here is the before.....</div>

I am planning to use the barrels for my vegetables. This way I won't be tempted to plant more than I need. Then I will plant beans and cucumbers next to the fence so they can vine up them to make picking easier. I would like to put some shorter sunflowers in the back too and maybe some other flowers in the front. I can see it in my head. It certainly won't be the pathetic little garden you see in the first picture anymore!!!</div>

I left my last post with the teaser that the utility room was to be finished. Here are the pictures of that. We had the counter top unit built to slide the washer and dryer into. I always had a big deep freezer to fold on before the remodel, but we decided to move that to the basement. That left me with very little room to work. The back piece hides all of the hoses and valves and gives a much cleaner look. There is a board coming yet to fit over the top of the back splash so it will be a little ledge to decorate. </div>

Good morning!! Hope you all are doing well today. I have to apologize for letting you all hanging for so long with the finished pictures of the kitchen. We were finishing things up just a few days before we left for vacation so I was frantically trying to get items put in the cupboards so we didn't return to so much chaos! The decorating is very minimal in the pictures. I should have taken a picture of the boxes of bowls, crocks, knick knacks, etc. that have to put out yet. That is in the plans for today. Something tells me it may take longer!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So begins your tour......this is the view from the family room. Where the island begins, is approximately where the wall used to be. I can't tell you how much I LOVE having the wall out. It feels like I'm part of what is going on now even when I'm cooking. This was a load bearing wall so I'm glad we were able to find someone who would tackle the job! We were originally going to angle the floor, but decided to extend it further into the family room and keep it straight across. </div>

I really am liking the double oven. The other night I used both of them at the same time. I had a wall oven before and wondered how I would like the actual stove/range combo. So far it's good. I still like the convenience of a wall oven but it's not like this is terrible. Now, when I get all old and stooped over........that may be another story!! I have been wanting a Kitchen Aid mixer as I am always burning up the hand held ones. I have a Kohl's charge so I received a 30% coupon and used some Kohl's cash. It was on sale to begin with and there is a rebate through the end of March. I was able to get it under half price. Yeah......</div>

The freezer on this fridge is great! We were able to move our deep freeze which was in the utility room down to the basement. This one is quite big so I am able to get much more in it than the old one. We have a fridge in the garage as well so it holds overflow items as well. The deep freeze will hold meat and things I freeze as well as items we don't use too often. </div>

The light above the sink matches the one above the island. Not sure if I'm going to do any curtains or not yet. The bowl full of towels next to the sink was an idea from another blog.....can't remember who to give credit!! Instead of using paper towels to dry our hands, I have these in the bowl. We just use them until they are too wet and then I toss them into a plastic basket under the sink. When that's full I just wash them with bleach and they are nice and fresh. It has really cut down on our paper towel usage. Even with them sitting side by side. I just used the wash cloth size bar mop cloths from Walmart. The blog had them in a large covered glass jar that was really pretty too. </div>

This is the view from the utility room. Where the fridge is now, was where the table was that we always had to walk around to get through the kitchen. Now it's a straight shot. The cats love it!! The bar stools are all black. The back and legs are metal and the seat it painted wood. We wanted ones that swiveled and these are really nice as they return to center so they aren't all turned different directions. Something my OCD couldn't handle!! They also have plastic protectors attached to the legs so they don't scratch at all and I don't have to constantly replace felt pads like I did with our kitchen chairs!!</div>

I now have room for a display between the kitchen wall and bathroom door. This previously was the walkway into the family room. I was afraid that by losing a wall, I would have to get rid of some furniture. So far, I have been able to rearrange and keep everything!! I have been told though that we don't need anymore. Hmmmmm.......that doesn't seem like a very fun idea!</div>

Just a little arrangement on the island. I found the bread board on EBay and was going to put it on the stove, but like it here.....at least for now!!

The island is in. It doesn't look as big in the picture...it's 84" by 41". Three of the sides have overhang as we are getting stools for it. I better get them soon because I am getting used to standing all around it working. The cupboard door on the left is actually a trash pull out. I've only thrown trash away once under the sink where the old one used to be. Hard habit to break. This is really how I had envisioned it to look. I wanted it to look like a piece of furniture. The square legs and the arched bottom give it that look. There is a hidden toe kick behind that about 3" so I don't have to worry about everything getting shoved under there or cleaning the dust!! Not that there is dust in this house!! Hahaha</div>

Here is a close up of the counter top. It is still hard to see. It's sandstone by Corian. It is tan with little flecks of golden brown, black and white. I'm a neutral kind of person so it seemed like the right choice. The black picks up the appliances, and the golden brown picks up the cupboard color.</div>

Many of you have commented on the floor. It is a laminate from Mannington. It is their Restoration Collection. It's the Oak pattern in Timber. It looks just like hardwood complete with the grooves between the planks. I never thought I would want the grooves because they are dust collectors. They told me they are more rounded than they used to be for easier cleaning. I usually run the vacuum over it everyday anyway because it gets so yucky. I have used a broom on it some and it seems to clean well with the broom as well. It has a nicer dull finish that I like.</div>
