A Weekend: As Told Through My Phone Camera

A Weekend: As Told Through My Phone Camera

Summer is in full swing around here and that means even though school is out, schedules don’t slow down.  That was no exception with this past weekend.

Even though I have a blog and phone usually within reach, I sometimes forget to take pictures of my everyday life. So this weekend I made it a point to take the time to document the highlights and share them here.

1) The Bann Fam!

My weekend kicked off on Friday, when I was able to catch up with some friends as they passed through Omaha on their way to a wedding Saturday.

Now you may remember my “Bann Fam” from last October when I spent a few days with them on their family farm in western New York.

No apple orchards or falling leaves for this trip, but a lunch spent catching up was just what this girl needed.

2) My Summer Reading List

I love reading.

Romance, Classics, Bible Studies, New York Times Bestsellers

I’ll read them all.

And summer is the perfect time for me to catch up on my To-Read pile.

3) Bloom Baby Bloom

My garden is coming along.

We are to the point in the summer where the garden is a waiting game.

No produce yet. Just plenty of weeding, watering, and watching the peas, beans, cukes, and tomatoes start setting on blooms!

4) It Was My Birthday!

Saturday I celebrated my birthday.

I didn’t lie to you when I said, my birthday is never complete without an ice cream cake!

5) Croquet- The Farm Way

My parent’s have had a croquet set for most of my life.

The thing is, we never read instructions when it comes to games. My family has much more of a “wing it” style and make the rules up as we go.

Example A) Croquet.

Instead of the usual croquet set up. Our game is more of an obstacle course that travels, not just the back (and front) yard, but also a large section of the farm.

A course that includes, but not limited to:

Traversing around sharp, pokey evergreens trees,

Past the feed bunks,

Under the house gutters,

A full circle around the large maple tree,

Through the swing set,

And most importantly…

AVOID HITTING A BALL INTO MOMMA’S FLOWER BEDS AT ALL COSTS!

6) Storms Rollin’ In

June, in the Midwest, also usually means a pop up thunderstorm or two making their way over the plains.

I always love watching clouds roll in and take shape, turning the landscape ominous and dark.

Thankfully these storm clouds from Sunday only produced some rain and a bit of wind.

7) Father’s Day with Dad

One of the best parts of my weekend was being able to spend Father’s Day with Dad.

Summers a busy time on the farm. But at the end of the day, Dad’s always there to share a beer and stories.

I try never to take that time for granted.

I'm Chanda of My Farmhouse Table. Raised in the Midwest on my family's grain & cattle farm. My days are based around faith, family, farming, & food.

My Farmhouse Table
You ask me Why I Love Her? Well, give me time. I' You ask me Why I Love Her?
 Well, give me time. I'll explain.
Have you seen a Kansas sunset
 Or an Arizona rain?
Have you drifted on a bayou
Down Louisiana way?
Have you watched a cold fog drifting
Over San Francisco Bay?
Have you heard a bobwhite calling
In the Carolina pines,

Or heard the bellow of a diesel
 At the Appalachia mines?
Does the call of Niagara thrill you
When you hear her waters roar?
Do you look with awe and wonder
 At her Massachusetts shore...
Where men who braved a hard new world
First stepped on Plymouth's rock?
And, do you think of them when you stroll
 Along a New York City dock?
Have you seen a snowflake drifting
 In the Rockies, way up high?
Have you seen the sun come blazing down
 From a bright Nevada sky?
Do you hail to the Columbia
As she rushes to the sea?
Or bow your head at Gettysburg
 At our struggle to be free?
Have you seen the mighty Tetons?
Have you watched an eagle soar?
Have you seen the Mississippi
Roll along Missouri's shore?
Have you felt a chill at Michigan
 When on a winter's day
Her waters rage along the shore
 In thunderous display?
Does the word "Aloha" make you warm?
Do you stare in disbelief
When you see the surf
 Come roaring in at Waimea Reef?
From Alaska's cold to the Everglades,
From the Rio Grande to Maine,
My heart cries out, my pulse runs fast
At the might of her domain!
You ask me why I love her?
I've a million reasons why ---
My Beautiful America,
Beneath God's wide, wide sky.

A friend recommended ‘The Cheat Sheet’ by @aut A friend recommended ‘The Cheat Sheet’ by @authorsarahadams to me this past week and let me say it was the perfect pre- Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day read that I couldn’t put down and ended up finishing in a day.

I don’t know if I’ve read a book where I caught myself smiling from cover to cover.

It was sweet (almost cavity inducing), WITTY, deliciously flirty, hard to put down, charming, with great comedic timing, and sexy! 

It’s a friends to lovers and fake dating tropes that is right up any Hallmark lover’s alley with a side helping of NFL. 

I found myself laughing out loud, cheering from the sidelines, and BLUSHING 😊. A touchdown in my book! 🏈

It’s that time of year… Seed starting! You kn It’s that time of year… Seed starting!

You know you’re a gardener if any of these gif’s and memes ring true to you too… Waiting for spring tests your patience that’s for sure, but buckets of blooms and produce make it worth it every time!
I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podc I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podcasts (Bible in a Year) for a while, but I found this quote of his the other day and it was as though I had been hit over the head with a wooden spoon. 

How often are we happy in life just to survive? I get it life is ROUGH- survival mode is sometimes all we can handle in a season, but after I read this quote I thought to myself- am I living too small of a story? Sometimes yes, I get stuck in my routines. The edges, things that push me, things that scare me- it’s uncomfortable. I doubt myself and what I’m capable of… but He doesn’t.  I’m going to cling to that truth as I continue to grow my own story. ❤️
Eucalyptus- I’ve wanted to grow it in my flower Eucalyptus- I’ve wanted to grow it in my flower garden for years- but I hear it’s  finicky and slow to germinate. You’ll fail far more than you will succeed. 

A lot like life, right?

Well, there’s one thing I’ve learned you can never grow if you don’t plant the seeds. So as we kick off a new year here’s your sign to plant the seeds in the areas of your life you want to see grow.

Faith. Relationships. Yourself. 

Sure you may fail more then you succeed, but you’ll never know if you don’t even start. ❤️ 

Thanks for sticking around for my unqualified TED talk 😜
I don’t know about you, but after the holidays a I don’t know about you, but after the holidays and all the cooking and prep that goes into them, I usually enter January wanting to be anywhere BUT my kitchen.

That’s when quick (and super flavorful) sheet pan dinners like this Cajun Shrimp Boil comes in handy. Everything cooks on one pan for easy clean up with delicious results!  Link in profile.
