Memorial Day at the homestead


Greetings from my homestead! 


I have been so busy for the last few months. It has been a whirlwind of excitement since my home was featured in the Home Tour edition 
COUNTRY SAMPLER MAGAZINE... 


My Memorial Day weekend was quiet but nice, mostly planting flowers and getting ready for a season of outdoor entertaining and fun! My decorating this year was very simple. My favorite woven planter on the ed 
front door with all white petunia flowers. All in one pot, placed easily in the wicker basket.


My old buggy/ sleigh seat that usually goes out only in the winter months found it's way on the front steps.



My copper trim under the door is aging with a great verdigris patina. Because the
 original base trim is 216 years old and cannot be removed I covered it with copper
to protect it. The trim is partially underneath the original door frame and would be very 
difficult to take out, and of course I would not want to. 

Have a great week!

Thank you for visiting the Homestead,
Karen
