i just recently saw the movie the lucky one. and yes, while zac ephron was dreamy to look at, i couldn't help but become facinated with the farmhouse where it all took place.
i grew up on a farm. i don't just mean a little bit of land and an old house. it was a full.blown.farm. we had a dairy farm and two hundred twenty acres. that's right. 2-2-0. my dad would get up at four o'clock every morning and milk cows with his dad and his granddad on our farm. and they would do it all again at four o'clock in the afternoon. every.single.day.
growing up on land was so much fun. i remember as a little girl always riding the tractor with my daddy out in our field while he baled hay. i remember feeding our baby calves with bottles. i remember my brother and i riding our dirt bikes for hours through the open land.
no cell phones. no xbox. no computers. just going outside in the mornings and not coming in til it was dark. that was the life and i didn't even realize it at the time.
so when i saw this movie...all of those memories came rushing back. oh how i would love for my boys to be able to experience land living. a simple life. a life full of imagination. full of hot summer days where no one complains that it's too hot. and full of cool nights sitting on a back porch with a tall glass of sweet tea.
so i did what any of us would do...i created a new pin board and began pinning all images that reminded me of that time and the dream that's stirring in my heart.
here's some of what i found...
love this house. maybe in white?
it would need a couple of these...
i would definiitely need a screen door like this that leads to the porch.
or what about this one....
my kitchen would look like this...
where i would cook veggies from a garden that looked like this...
and eggs from these guys...
and we'd live at the end of a road like this...
oh how i would love this living...maybe someday!
what have you been dreaming about lately?
