Homestead Dress Up

It has been raining for days and will continue all weekend!
( This picture was featured on Common Ground Blog!)

Therefore, I did not dress up the homestead with the usual flags and banners... 

Instead I am posting some of my favorite holidays pics of the 

BRAYTON HOMESTEAD

Still loving my red gate, added to the 1796 home a few years ago...

Cannot wait to get the lawn furniture out 

for lazy days of tea or wine,

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend...

I am so grateful and flattered to be features at the beautiful blog

Homestead Living Barn Chick Style

Here at the Brayton Homestead, summer is easy living, country style. Simple decorating with splashes of red is all that is needed.

Dining outside this summer has been most enjoyable. Typically, I am not a "let's eat out on the patio" in the heat kind of girl.

sorry to disappoint my fellow Barn Chick girls. I would love to have the original barn to my 214 year old house but it is long been torn down by previous owners.

So I take pics of other wonderful barns instead. Remember to join in on the next BARN CHICK meeting on September 3rd all day! All about apples and barns, recipes, pics, etc.! Come link in your barn post here.

Krumpet has been indulging in alfresco dining as well at our fav coffee shop.

Revel in every last minute of the summer weather and thanks for the visit...
