Summer fun...linseed oil painting in progress

Front door jam painted classic white




 

 

 

Kosher crock dills!  It's the year of the pickle here!! 

Painting the east door threshold Houghton Brown.

First "mock up" of a real live window.  Just the wooden frames..no glass or paint yet. 

The garlic harvest curing upstairs.
 
 The front door curing, oil absorbing into the wood.


 

We received this homey little sign as a wedding gift, how foretelling it is! 

 

 

 

 
First shitake fruiting!! 



 

 

 

 

Duncan keeps busy with his own painting projects.

 

 

Just love this "farm scene"!  Chris oiling the virgin wood, chickens scratching around and Daisy (dog) sun bathing while the corn frames it all in. 


 This is the official sponsor of this restoration.  This is the brand of linseed oil paint we are using for all of our woodwork, inside and out.  Made in Sweden.  Let's hope it works!  


Bat Kitty!

  1. LOVE all these projects! I have not tried fermentation yet, please let us know how that goes. Our new project is bees and honey. Ian is 13 now and we are hoping the honey sales will find his high school travel. Thank you for all the pics and updates, love the farm table, the food looks delicious!
    Don't ever be afraid to stop by for tea or coffee and sweets if you are nearby. Cordelia and Duncan would love to play I bet.

    Best always, Cathy
