Farmhouse...El Fin!

Welcome to the Gaddy Farm

Well boys and girls, we are done painting the house! What a wonderful experience to see the transformation of this beloved farmhouse. Every day got better...we couldn't help ourselves from walking around the house pointing out and talking about our favorite part. We have so many favorites..so the conversations can get lengthy!

We enjoyed working with Paul and Renee and their team Ken and Cory. They do amazing work and every second of it was a good time!

We knew this day would come and it is here! Farmer is beside himself with happiness and I am so glad he was part of the whole experience.

We sure saw a lot of neighbors too...I think half of Bluff Dale stopped by to quench their curiosity.

Just in case you are curious about our color selection we chose Sherwin Williams Creamy for the trim, Butternut for the accent color (windows), and Artichoke for the siding. We were kind of excited about the whole vegetable theme since I am a huge butternut fan (butternut soup!) and my dad always has an artichoke around when we come over for dinner. I believe the house will bring good luck to the garden and the farm in general. Creamy=cows... maybe one day I will get my Jersey :)

Who cares about my rambling...I am sure you want to see some pictures!

Taaa Daaaa!!!

Thanks for your patience ...

We also appreciate any comments or come on over and take a look at it in person!

The Old Worn Out House

This house has always been loved but it needed a little bit more attention. Over 100 years old, it is clear why it started to slouch and sigh with years of rain, wind, and sun. Not many people believed it could shine again..but with anyone or anything..it can. It has always been loved and that is the reason why this home had the chance. Otherwise it would have died.

Here is the farmhouse's progress in four years...Now that it has had a little bit of a nip and tuck here and there...As Farmer says...she is now ready for the makeup to complete the transformation.

Next Monday or Tuesday I will show you what work has been done!! It is really lookin' good! Sorry for the suspense but we are enjoying each stage of the transformation!

Pure and Innocent

Check It Out!

Happy Birthday Sam!

This little baby is 35 today!!

You are 245 years old today (in Kitty years)

I've Got the Feva...Cabin Feva!

First things first..Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to Farmer! Today is his last day of school----err---WORK! 9 months is finally here! Wowsers!!

Aarrrrgh..today is the 3rd day of stayin' inside! I look outside and just wish I could go out and play..but it is just too damn windy and icy and not so fun. I look at the birdies that are camping out in front of the window having their buffet of birdseed and fluttering about to keep themselves warm. The sweet things are so puffed up they are the cutest little boys and girls. Oh Lordie...After today I will get to see Farmer and we can keep each other entertained by playing with Wiggles (Riely) and him helping me clean out some more stuff....exciting!?

He shipped about 100 lbs of stuff from Montana and we should receive it Monday. 100 lbs! Yikes! Sorry UPS, hope your back doesn't break!

Puffy Little Birdies ...puff up and stay warm. I wish I had some more bird houses so you can keep warm and happy...but by the looks of it...ya'll are having fun and enjoying your buffet. I will fill it back up today since you ate all of it in just one day you silly little things, you.

thank you for the entertainment during these long wintry days.

Maybe instead of cleaning we can watch one of our favorite movies: Blazing Saddles...

My Texas Tuesday

This is what Ri Ri and I had to deal with while livin' it up in Texas on a Tuesday.

The Red Buds that Ricky and I dug up and planted in the front yard.

Count Down

Counting today it will be 4 Days 'til I see my farmer..kind of like 3 b/c he'll be home on the 4th around noon. I am thankful that he did not come in today or rather I am grateful that this wintry storm decided to hit us now and not on Friday..but I do have to look out for superbowl traffic..blech.

In honor of our reunion..I'll post a couple pics of us throughout the years. Yep, you'll be seeing a lot more of US instead of him or just me.

Yippeee!
