Country Fare

I have been inspired by other women who blog about their homes, cooking, DIY projects, and the many blessings in their lives. I am adding Country Fare to do the same. I am a newbie at blogging and actually sharing what I write' so "tips of the trade" are welcome.

I am a Texas native and a country girl at heart. I lived on a farm with parents and three siblings, and of course, a collection of animals. I discovered the written word early in life and spent many hours escaping into other worlds much to my parent's dismay as there were always chores to be done. My father was all business and I learned from him work ethics while my mother taught me to be creative through art and music. My grandmother taught me the beauty of silence and stillness. I used to sit for hours in her bedroom letting the sheer curtains flutter around me as breezes wafted across the hot parched land. It was magical. She and I would read for hours the newspapers and magazines ( hers in her mother tongue and mine in English) my great uncle collected as he visited relatives across the state.

I hope I can inspire you with my thoughts and my projects as others have me. May 2014 fill your heart with the grace of giving!
