Farmhouse Friday 125

Hey friends! I hope you had a wonderful week!

I decided to expand the scope of Farmhouse Friday to include recipes and anything else that is related to country / farmhouse living.

Why the change? A couple of reasons:

First, every once in a while someone would mistakenly link up a recipe post. It always bugged me to have to delete it because it didn’t fit into the party’s scope. When you think about it, what is more country / farmhouse than home cooked meals made from scratch?

Second, I’m thinking about expanding the blog’s scope to again include recipes and anything else that is related to country / farmhouse living. Country living is so much more than decor, and I’d like to share all the other things farm-related goings on here, whether it be recipes, gardening, pets, farm critters, etc. I haven’t decided if I’m going to expand the focus yet; and if I do, farmhouse style decor will still be the main focus. I want to see how expanding the focus of Farmhouse Friday goes over and I’ll go from there.

In other goings on here this week, I decorated my front porch for Fall!

If you look closely, you can see I have amber colored Mason jars in the mix. I put solar powered fairy lights inside the Mason jars which turn on at dusk and light up the porch in the evenings. You can learn more about how to use amber colored Mason jars in your Fall decor here and you can see more photos of my Fall front porch here.

Beautiful Fall Outdoor Displays in Vermont by Sweet Pea
