    Ringing in the New Year!

    ByMary Crozier January 7, 2020January 7, 2020

    Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of.  ~~Benjamin Franklin Holiday decorations started coming down yesterday. It is tradition to leave them up until the Epiphany (January 6th). Technically, my “new” year starts this week. It feels good to get back into a schedule! Here are my top priorities for 2020! Being more organized and efficient. Perhaps my most productive time in life was…

    Having a back staircase is such a blessing. Located off the mudroom, this leads to the 2nd landing on the main staircase. Hundreds of trips have been made up and down this staircase by many feet. Suffice to say, the back staircase is used much more than the main entry staircase. Both staircases have the…

    Cleaning out the Barn

    We have an old 2 stall horse barn on our property. We’ve never had horses even though the girls REALLY wanted them. I am always so impressed with those that do take care of animals larger than themselves. Here’s what the barn looked like when we first purchased our home in 1999. In 2011, my…
