New Farm Baby..........a life of Taboo

For two days of the weekend flea market, he sat in a metal cage crate , in blowing wind and dust, with people poking at him and picking him up............but no one taking him home. 

Just as the flea market was closing, my husband and I were making our way to the parking lot...........

I spotted him............

the second he was in my hands............he was cemented to my heart. 

Wrapped up in my jacket and stuck into a worn coka-cola box........he was exhausted and slept all the way home.

I named him...........Taboo

When we arrived home............Zelda was very disapproving..........

but 

Sophie and Taboo made friends instantly

 

Taboo played with his new toys...........

explored my work area and every corner of his new world,

 wore Sophie and himself out..........

and took a nap

and now..........

a life of Taboo

has begun.

The reason I can't wait to open my eyes

in the early morning hours and greet the day.............

The only sound .....as I watch this beautiful day unfold......

is the melodic song of the birds in the woods and out on the prairie.

Besides the alarm clock...........what wakes you in the early unfolding of the day?

It smells like someone has covered the grounds with .................

wildflower perfume.............it smells wonderful!

Wildflowers are in the woods

across the meadow

along the drive

and even where the ground looks uninviting. 

Making all of the grounds beautiful 

and a walk breath taking.

To add to the beauty, a rainbow arched it's way over the house after a nice rain yesterday.

Here's hoping wildflowers and rainbows

for you this week!

Gertrude is wearing a new Easter dress and hat

I decided to dress her in a bright and vibrant red dress

with a hat perfect for a southern belle.......

isn't she lovely? 

So far, with the harsh wind blowing.........all of her clothing has stayed in tact.

She looks so real

  that Sophie barks at her every morning and stands a little off from her.......

poor pooch.

Also, I was reading through my vintage cookbooks and found a recipe from an restaurant named Yesteryear in the late 50s. 

As you know, this is the name of my vintage shop. This book has recipes from many restaurants and inns during that time. I was curious to know if any of these places still exist. I started researching Yesteryear first. I found and interesting and somewhat sad story that goes with this. You can read this and also get the recipe on my cooking blog
