Does the inside look like the outside of this wonderful place.<br />I bet your legs were suffocating in the cute books.<br />I didn't grow up on a farm but in the country surrounded by farms. I spent the entire day outoors by myself wandering around.....and I am alot older than you are. We have to worry so much now. I can't even let my grandchildren play on the front porch without me being outside.<br />Questions.....I have been wanting to start up a craft group.

What one doesn't see is all the really hard work she puts in. <br />I used to be in a craft club. We have all let life get in the way. Parents, kids. etc. I have to occasionally fight longing for different stages of life and forgetting to really bask in the stage I am in now.

In fact, I really haven't had a group since my college days. I know we can't create these kind of friendships...they have to organically happen, but still. I am still in contact with my group from college that I lived with....I miss the specialness of a group of girlfriends that can know each other deeply. oh well....contentment calls my name. I must find it!<br /><br />Anyway, your craft group seems special. I think I might have to have a craft night at my house very soon!!!<br /><br />Hope you're having a great day, friend.Between You and Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05020503571549401779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-88436414126902685242012-07-24T08:11:58.176-04:002012-07-24T08:11:58.176-04:00My childhood sounds like yours, except instead of ...My childhood sounds like yours, except instead of a farm, we lived on a mountain in the woods. I would be outside as much as possible and constructed whole towns out of acorns and sticks and moss. My mom didn't have to worry like we would today if I only re-appeared for meals. I really wanted my kids to have that kind of experience too, but it is just a different world. We visited my grandfather's farm most weekends so I did have the chicken-pasture-farm animal experience too. I am not likely to be able to have chickens here in Short Pump, but it is fun to think about! Love all your photos from Clara's farm...what a gorgeous place.slip4https://www.blogger.com/profile/04314076512136884950noreply@blogger.com
