When we rely upon laws to enforce decent behavior, we end up spending our hard-earned money on attorneys. Rather than legal recourse, I’m on a mission to amp up my personal charm and collaborative kindness. Good manners are contagious.
Let’s get viral together.
Winnie Nielsen says: I know just where I am! And the Bunkhouse front porch? That IS a PERFECT spot for some porch sitting and knitting with the Fall splendor. Is there an empty chair?
MaryJane says: There’s an empty chair on a pink tractor:)
Winnie Nielsen says: If I lived closer, I would love that opportunity to knit on the pink Tractor!!
MaryJane says: Requires a bit of travel. I do however have a pink Mercedes:)
Winnie Nielsen says: More beauty to enjoy. You are so lucky to have this right outside your window on the farm!
MaryJane says: I agree!!!! Gratitude is the name of the game here.
Linda says: Beautiful! Here in Texas we don’t see as much of the changing of the colors of the leaves. I grew up in Illinois and really miss the Indian Summer season change.
Winnie Nielsen says: I love the gold color of the leaves and grasses that surround this little old shed. With the bright sunshine, there is a feeling of warmth which leaves open the possibilities of perhaps another life for this structure.
Cindi says: I have always wondered what it would feel like to stand inside one of these beautiful buildings on a crisp fall morning.
Winnie Nielsen says: Seeing this makes my heart burst with joy! What a beautiful and majestic red barn that is still standing tall and proud.
bonnie ellis says: Oh, I love red barns. Ours was a little shorter but red also. That is a beautiful picture Mary Jane.
Winnie Nielsen says: Love this rainbow Blue Bird village! I wonder if there is a Blue Bird advertising that gets posted so they know where the cutest houses are on the Palouse?
Bonnie ellis says: What a great picture! The barn, grasses, colored bluebird houses and those dark green trees. Every picture you post is a show stopper!
Winnie Nielsen says: Wow, seriously beautiful!! This reminds me of the golden Aspens we saw last week in the upper elevations in New Mexico. Stunning!
Lisa A says: So pretty!
Winnie Nielsen says: It’s official TODAY: The first Annual MJF Apple Pie Sunday. Happy gathering and enjoying of pie made from none other than the variety known as “Apple Pie Sunday” from the archives of orchards of 1905, Paradise Farm, Idaho!! Whoop!
MaryJane says: Bouquets of flowers placed just so. Sun is shining. Will start a campfire soon. I have a few more cow things to do before my family shows up. It’s been hard not to sneak a piece of pie. But wait I must.
Winnie Nielsen says: As I write this, my pie is just came out of the oven and boy does my house smell good! I can’t wait to try my pie using Apple Pie Sunday apples from your farm. They taste so good just eating them raw! You know what the good news is? With just two of us, there is definitely enough for apple pie for breakfast tomorrow morning!!!!!! Farmgirl Delight when you know there will be apple pie for breakfast. Plus, Cabot Cheese has a nice white aged cheddar that I found and looking forward to having some of that on my slices of pie. My husband immediately said he was off to get some vanilla ice cream for his.
Have a wonderful family afternoon and Apple Pie Sunday celebration. September is a beautiful thing!
Love the pic! Love the tractor seats. I have a couple cool ones that were from our farm that are just the seats, but another one that is attached to a very cool corn planter my dad had on the farm!

Winnie Nielsen says: Beautiful rolling fields of gold with an expansive blue sky. What a view you have at Paradise Farm!
Lisa A says: Beautiful.
Nancy Coughlin says: Looking to the horizon and all the joys that await on the other side!! Thank you!
Winnie Nielsen says: So many decades of rural life lived here. So many sunrises and sunsets have greeted animals and farmers happy to greet or complete another good day!
Nancy Coughlin says: A beautiful photo that brings so many pleasant memories to mind. Calls to be preserved, so one does not forgot the past!

This is such a cute trailer. It looks like the perfect little getaway home all nestled in the woods. I see the amazing claw foot tube in the background for an outdoor spa option too. Are you taking reservations yet? LOL!!
