This is the home where my husband grew up. This home is part of a 700 acre private estate where we live and work. My Father in law and Mother in law were only 19 & 20 when they first moved in. It looked a lot different then. My FIL took care of the grounds/pool/gardens and my MIL was the housekeeper. They did this for 48 years. My husband was also a full time employee after he graduated in 1983. When the owners of the estate passed away and it was sold, my In-laws retired and moved out of the farmhouse. My husband was offered the position of head caretaker by the new owners and I became their housekeeper. We then moved into the farmhouse. We have been here for 14 years. Living here has been a dream come true.
To me, there's nothing better than a front porch. Growing up I spent a lot e time on my parents' front porch where I enjoyed the old porch swing that was made by my Grand Pap. Here's a little tour of my front porch.
Geraniums are a favorite flower of mine.
This black bench was made by my husband when he was in high school.
I just love ferns. I have four of them hanging on my porch from April/May until the end of October. They always seem to do well for me. I fertilize them once a week to keep them nice and green.
I hope you've enjoyed this little tour. Thanks for stopping by.
