A Side To Share, Again

Thanksgiving is almost here!
I shared this recipe last year (afterward) but
wanted to freshen your memory in case you
needed an extra vegetable side or are taking
a dish to a gathering.
You will not regret making these, I promise!

Click any photo to take you to the recipe.




Happy Thanksgiving!

A day in the life...

Well hello!
I hope you are all doing well.
It's been quite the whirlwind around here lately
with all the wonderful things going on,
that sitting down to edit photos and journal,
has been pushed to the back burner.

One thing that brings me calm and peace
on the crazy days {every day} are my girls.
My little piece of a farm heaven consists merely of hens
and just like any other crazy chicken lady,
I think mine are exceptional.

These girls keep us pretty well stocked
unless I have recipes that call
for multiple eggs, but
 I would love to add a few more layers.

We'll wait for Spring for
those Easter egger babies!



I turned the girls out in the garden the other day 
hoping they'd till up the soil.
No. They were more interested in the grass and
dried meal worms I threw out to entice them to cross
the coop threshold. 
We'll try again today.


I took a fun video to post but being the 
non-technical guru that I am,
I am having issues. I'll keep trying.

If you're interested in what we're doing at the bakery,
click the link on the upper right
that says FPH Bakery and 
you'll be transported!

See you all soon.

Fall at FPH

Yes, it's been a while. I am finished with my day job
and am back to work for me.
Our poor house was neglected for about 6 weeks
so I've been playing catch up the last few days.
I finally had a chance to take a few photos
of the house with Fall decor.
I don't do much but a little jewel tone
surely does wonders.

Our living room...




Into the dining room....


I just dyed the chandelier shades. They were originally white
but to me, they just didn't "go" so I started with pink
and that was a hmmm, not quite,
so I went with a mink color.


Oh, that red wall. I will leave it alone until after the holidays since it's so festive.




and the kitchen...




I keep stacking my vintage mis-matched china on the cabinets that
I've been hunting and collecting for the bakery.
I'm running out of room!


My kitchen is rather cramped these days with the huge
industrial rack in there that holds all of my baking essentials.
We haven't been able to sit in the window seat either since it's piled with
bakery stuff. It's going to be a day of celebration
when we are moving all of this out of the house and into the boutique.
A day I look very forward to!

Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon.
