since i am not home to snap a shot from any of my windows, i went back into the archives of my flickr pages and sets and found this shot of a view from the window of my front door in the 1826 section of the house. We rarely use this door other than to let in sunshine! It is the dining room actually. The door we use is on the middle section of the house....the part that was actually the original farmhouse....one room with a sleeping loft built in the mid 1700's. The view from that door is similar to this, without the sidewalk and lamp post....and with more picket fence and lawn.
Our home was once part of 700+ acre Dairy farm back in the 1700 and 1800's. We are on the last 8 acres....the rest having been sold off to developers long ago. There is a 3rd section to the house that was added in 1920....as a summer kitchen, so they would not have to use the fireplace....and then in 1930 the owners there decided to add a REAL kitchen, with a mudroom and 2 garages with an apartment above, for an elderly aunt and uncle to live in.
In this shot, Kohl decided to meander into the doorway to watch for birds and squirrels....she is my little trouble maker, along with her sister Aura and her "brother" Loki.
Tomorrow i shall add my favorite drink....since i missed the opportunity today to photograph it....as long as Luke does not decide to start his arrival in the wee smalls of the morning....then all bets are off!!!
Babies are so unpredictable!!
