My little Kit Kittredge......
Sarah's been counting down the days for months, and yesterday was finally the day the Kit Kittredge, an American Girl movie came out. Just she and I went out for lunch and then to see the movie. It was such a fun girls afternoon out!!!

For any of you who don't know what a tick looks like (my brother Will). This is enlarged of course, the fabric behind is a small gingham.

I found this on a pillow next to Sarah yesterday morning. It's time those keets (baby guinea fowl) start earning their stay!!! Hopefully soon they'll be old enough to free range!!

Re-shingling the roof is going to be the next BIG project on the house. We won't get to it until Adam gets back next spring, but seeing that the price of shingles is going up every day (like everything else), we're going to get them now.

This is our roof now.......

This is what it'd look like w/the chateau green shingles I'm thinking about......what do you think?? We were already going to paint the doors red, this is basically what it would look like (minus a chimney, garage, and a few windows).
