Dreamland .... Another day ..Another Life ...

It's been a beautiful day here at the farmhouse ... Overcast ..Rainy .. a few bursts of Thunder overhead ...and a crisp cold bite in the air ...


It's been said .. April Showers Bring May Flowers ... and I think the Garden Shall be blooming with Beautiful Buds for many weeks to come after this Glorious shower or heavenly rain...


However .. the Rain left me dreaming ..which I must admit I do quite often ..that is day dreaming .. dreaming of where I would like to be and a life I would love to be living .. and One day I know that will come true ..because the Lord Promises he will give you the desires of your heart !


My Lovely Dreamland has been ever enhanced in the last 3 weeks ..ever since I was encouraged by a few of my friends to open a Pinterest Account .. I must admit it was rather a hard thing for me to do .. as I'm not one to sit on the computer for hours and hours and that's honestly what I thought would end up .. but I have been blessed with a sweet Mama ..(Abbey) who loves pinterest now that I have shown her how to use it and what it's all about .. and she is the Sweet Magnolias Farm .. Pinup Girl ... LOL !


So my fun is going in to see what she has pinned ..and dreaming...through all her storyboards .. as she calls them .. She tells the stories .. of the Pickets and Posies.. Sweet Liberty .. Barn-Ology... Farm Fresh and several others .. and my journey through her boards makes me enter a dreamland I honestly do not want to leave ...


Tonight I dreamed ... I was walking through a beautiful meadow fiilled with fresh wild spring blooms ... picking the most beautiful and fragrant bouquet ..dazzling my sense of smell .. and hearing nothing but the wind through the grass harp on a mid-summers day ...




My fresh picked bouquet .. of course would be simply plunked in an old mason jar .... where the aged bubbled glass meets the fresh stems ..and dresses my farm table with pure down home perfection .. !






After a lovely walk through the meadow ..there's nothing like a big glass of thirst quenching lemonade .. to make a farm girl smile ...

And nothing better than a Lovely Piece or 2 of Lemonade Cake ...(doesn't this look simply delicious )




And this one too ! How about a piece of Strawberry lemonade Cake .. ?




What makes this dream so wonderful ..is that after my Mid-summer's walk through the meadow .. that glass of lemonade and that scrumptious Piece or 2 or lemonade Cake ...


A little piece of dreamland awaits .. a place to lay my head .. a place to close my eyes ..a place to listen to the quiet .. a place to relax ... I can feel the gentle slumber ..



And I don't want the dream to end ...


I'm headed off to dreamland ..maybe not my one above .. but I'm thankful for the beautiful Nest that I have to call home .. the warm bed that I have to crawl into tonight .. the roof over my head .. the food in my kitchen ..and most of all the Love in my Home .. I am truly Blessed !


Wishing all my sweet friends .. Sweet Dreams .. and  Beautiful Tomorrows .. !
