I can't think of holidays without thinking of my grandparents house or as we call it, "the farm." I love knowing that Christmas and Holidays are spent with family in a location I love!
I find this post to be the perfect Thanksgiving post since the farm is a place that I am truly thankful for. I have grown up here!
The farm is an hour and a half away from my house and is a drive through the country to say the least. The farm is in a small town with To Kill A Mockingbird as its claim to fame considering the story takes place here and the author, Harper Lee, lives here.
I especially love the farm in the fall. The color change in the leaves is much more drastic here then at home. A large field greets you on the left as you drive down the driveway and see the flag as you near the entrance.
The "Sewing Barn" is my grandmothers barn while my grandfather piddles in a "real" barn with motorcycles and tractors galore! My favorite part of the sewing barn is the monogram machine and the memories I have of wrapping presents in their.
How could you complain with a perfect fall view from the living room! The trees on the edge of the pond epitomize fall with their vibrant oranges and reds!
One perfect memory I have of the pond happened when I was probably four or five and my brother was reaching around me to grab some fish food and "accidentally" knocked me in.
And how could I forget the cabin! The perfect place to host sleepovers and have a girls trip! With a hot tub attached and a bunk room how could you not love inviting friends!
And how cute is my grandmother with her fall decorations on the porch of the cabin!
I am so thankful that I have a place with its 60ish acres to roam around, enjoy the outdoors, and create countless memories with family and friends. It is something to be truly thankful for! As we gather around on Thanksgiving I am reminded how much I have to be thankful and grateful for and I hope you feel the same way!
Eat Up!
