The Clawfoot Tub


We found an old cast iron clawfoot tub for $50. This week we had the outside sandblasted by a local - Bachman Pugh - do you think he's German? Pete has sprayed the outside with Rustoleum. . .


So . . . how does a man and his 5'2" wife get a 400# cast iron tub off the trailer and into the house????


Fall Views from Green Pastures Farm

Here are some photos from around the farm including Resurrection Lilies, Black Walnuts, Pecans, and Pears. Also, that wheelbarrow is Daddy's original and only wheelbarrow circa 1950s!

1930's Construction


The farmhouse is really 3 (maybe 4) add-ons over the years. The original house is 2 rooms (which will be our living room and our master bedroom). This part of the house is at least circa 1890's, maybe earlier. The construction of the walls is 4" by 5/8" tongue and groove wood.

What Have We Been Up to???

Long time no blog . . .

Since we last updated the blog we've had both a celebration and a sorrow. We celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary with a getaway to a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We sadly had to say goodby to our dear Toby. Although he had been showing his age of almost 13 years (96 Labrador years), he rapidly deteriorated in the first few weeks of September. We miss him greatly!
