Pictures.....

I know I've gotten several requests for pictures of the farm....finally I found a "tail" for the camera.   So here are some pictures.  I just realized that I haven't taken a picture of the front of the house, just inside and around the farm....I'll do that soon.  Oh, and look at some of the recent posts, I've tried to add pictures where needed.

Here we are at the old house, *kinda* packed up and ready to go...

Two nights before we actually "moved", we had a camp out at the new house.

Here is the fireplace in the middle of the downstairs.  It faces the kitchen, you can see the front "fancy" staircase and a bit of the living room through the doorways...off to the right is the den/office.

Below is looking out the back door/ back porch.  You can see the white picket fenced yard, my car, and then our BIG barn towards the very back of the acreage. There is the littler barn(the scrap barn) to the right, and then to the right of that you can barely see the top of the chicken house in the corner of the picture. 

 This is at sunrise, the backdoor faces east.

Below is at sunset looking out the front picture window.  The farm across the road and also all the farmland around our house is owned by one family which have about 800+ acres.  The tree to the left is an apple tree.

Here's the Master Bedroom...lots of closet space and a window seat that looks out over the back yard.

The house is 104 years old, and has some wonderful (and a few quirky) details.  Here are some random pictures of things I already love about our old farm house....

The front staircase (there is a second one, not fancy going up to the homeschool room)

The details on the banister:

The cool door knobs...this is on our front door

Doors with wonderful wood work.  Left is to the bathroom, right is the door to the back stairs.  These face the kitchen.

Here's a happy country dog (Stormy-Boy's dog) among the boxes to be unpacked on the kitchen floor.

Kristl-who really loves running all over the farm~!

And the other wall of the kitchen.  Refridge on the left, pantry on the right, and side door out to the yard.

And finally...the quirky....here is the "guard pig" that is above our back door.  He was so dusty (and still is) that while my dad was painting, he gave the pig a mohawk.

We were working in the house 2 days before we even noticed this crazy thing!
