Country Livin'

We lived on the most extraordinary property in Maryland.

The original house was over 100 years old.

The screened in porch became a favorite spot for reading.

Don't you love the table!
The famous "hidden" staircase delighted the kids' imaginations.
It was really just a second set of stairs leading into the master bedroom, but deserved its place on the blog.

This pantry made me feel like Anne of Green Gables.
I kept looking for a bottle of Aunt Marilla's currant wine.
Asher learned to operate the antique phonograph in the back right corner.
The old music set the mood.

The house was furnished with family heirlooms and antiques.
Not sure why they rented it to us :)A private half mile lane led to the house.
The foxes were some of our nearest neighbors.
Here is a glimpse of the creek in the back of the property . It emptied into the Choptank River a few hundred yards outside our cove. the old boat house and dockour place by boatclosest neighbor by boat
This hydrangea bush decorated our table with flowers all summer
