the Brown barn in the sunset
Here are some pictures from our time in PA. We had such a great time reuniting with family, and the farm.
It’s a family farm, to be sure; my mom grew up with dairy cows, but the pastures are full of wildflowers now. Some hay will be harvested by a neighbor, but there are 80acres of nature to roam through. Being there reminded me why I have this urgency about getting our family out in the country. We have a lot going for us here in the city, but the way the girls were free to explore and enjoy the things I remember enjoying myself, that is what I dreaded leaving even when I was a kid. It was hard to pull them away and drive the 10 hours back…

It’s amazing how many memories you can fit into a 3 day period. Thanks to my aunts, uncles, cousins and grandma for all that you planned!

It sounds like an awesome getaway! I love that area of the country. 🙂
Looks like you guys had a great time! Have you ever thought about moving back up there? I hear the soil up in PA is much better for growing!
Gina we'd probably consider it, but there's not a whole lot going on in Titusville & the growing season is MUCH shorter. it's tempting…
Thank you for sharing your beautiful day, this has always been a place I've wanted to visit!
seeing forget me nots in the wild would be a dream for me! what a beautiful and happy place and time for y'all.
Gorgeous. You have me PA dreaming!!
I'm in Love with this barn!
You could live vicariously through our farm blog.
Great idea with the green tomato relish!
(I've been looking around, but I have to get back to my life!)
THANKS,
KATIE
