THE SCOOP #242

The SCOOP- the best home and garden post from around the web.

Welcome back to THE SCOOP! Fall has finally come to visit my beautiful Lancaster County! We have been ready for weeks! The weather turned from the 90’s back to the 60’s and we are loving its cool breezes and all the beauty that comes to our area this time of year! This weekend we celebrated a family wedding and I hosted a “bun in the oven and burgers on the grill” baby shower for my daughter and her husband. We are expecting our first grandbaby in seven short weeks! Our little boy could not be more loved as family and friends joined in the co-ed, patio and backyard celebration!

Here’s a picture of the mommy-to-be opening shower gifts!

I’m writing to you from the Round Top Antique show this week! Well I’m at my farm and I’m went to the show today. Meaning, by the time you read this, I’m probably flopped on the couch, exhausted from a long, tough day of shopping the fields. It’s always fun!
 
Don’t forget about my giveaway going on for just a few more days. Comment on the CEDAR HILL FARMHOUSE BLOG to be entered to win. Fine print can be found here.
