Trying to catnap a headache away and feeling like I might have the beginnings of a cold. Most likely I'll be up in five minutes putting more paperwhites in pots instead. #bradstreetfarm

It's so easy to love them and so hard to watch them fade with illness and age. #bradstreetfarm #catsofinstagram

430pm late autumn sunset over Sheepscot Lake. #bradstreetfarm #mainelife

Foggy's argument with the kitchen table reached the point that all arguments inevitably reach, when one or both parties surrender to boredom or exhaustion. #bradstreetfarm #catsofinstagram #foggycat

Foggy picks a fight with the tablecloth. #bradstreetfarm #catsofinstagram #foggycat

Foggy's not taking any crap from the kitchen table. #bradstreetfarm #catsofinstagram #foggycat

All the supplies for cutting snowflakes stay on the kitchen table until we've made enough. Cookie sheets and trays collect all the paper bits as we cut. #bradstreetfarm #fromourkitchen #rituals #traditions #yuletide #secularpagan

Foggy uses the leftover bits from snowflake cutting to make paper chains. #bradstreetfarm #traditions #rituals #secularpagan #yuletide #catsofinstagram #foggycat

Foggy has raised the firewood again. #bradstreetfarm #foggycat #catsofinstagram #woodstove #woodheat

On Bradstreet:
None of these bedrooms had ceiling lights (not that anyone should live by ceiling lighting alone, 😱), but a dimmer switch and halogen bulbs go a long way in warming up a space (for real, we have no heat upstairs.) #bradstreetfarm #thisoldhouseneeds

The guest bed will go here, and we'll add a door to the closet as well. #bradstreetfarm #thisoldhouseneedslove #oldfarmhouse #diy #notasquarecornerinthehouse
On Bradstreet:
This closet was dark and gross due to water damage from a long-ago roof leak. No more. We will be adding shelves, a rod, and hooks. #bradstreetfarm #thisoldhouseneedslove #oldfarmhouse #diy

This room is filled with morning sunshine (on a sunny day), which unfortunately wasn't the case on the day I took these photos. #bradstreetfarm #thisoldhouseneedslove #notasquarecornerinthehouse #oldfarmhouse #diy

Goodbye carpet. There's now more than three outlets in the room, too. #bradstreetfarm #thisoldhouseneedslove #notasquarecornerinthehouse #oldfarmhouse #diy

This easterly room looks out over the pear and apple trees, willows, flower gardens, and the elderberry bushes. #bradstreetfarm #thisoldhouseneedslove #oldfarmhouse #diy

The office + guest space room about 2008 and now. #bradstreetfarm #thisoldhouseneedslove #oldfarmhouse #notasquarecornerinthehouse #diy

New AdvanTech subfloors are a huge improvement over the nasty #bad70sreno particle board subfloors. #bradstreetfarm #thisoldhouseneedslove #oldfarmhouse #notasquarecornerinthehouse #diy
On Bradstreet:
The hall carpet (which is only a remnant over particle board subfloor) is the only remaining carpet in the house. The doors for all the bedrooms have to wait until we do the hall because of the floor. #bradstreetfarm #thisoldhouseneedslove #oldfarmhouse #

The office + guest space renovation. New subfloor, hardwood, electrical, insulation, and paint. #bradstreetfarm #thisoldhouseneedslove #oldfarmhouse #notasquarecornerinthehouse #diy
On Bradstreet:
The smallest bedroom, now Alex's office + guest space renovation is complete minus a few details that we put on hold so we can focus on the holiday season. I'll get curtains hung this week, for instance. This was Alex's childhood bedroom (and more recentl

I love this cat. She's 12, she's cranky, she's particular about her people and when she gives and receives affection, she drools when she's happy, she's a little "off" the way calicoes tend to be, she's a good friend and companion. I'm hoping she'll be ar

Olivia also wrecked some paper targets and a zucchini. #bradstreetfarm #targetpractice #mainelife

Adam got a turn to wreck some pumpkins today. #bradstreetfarm #targetpractice #mainelife

They've been out in the woods with Olivia's shotgun working on target practice. #bradstreetfarm #mainelife
