Kenny's Camp House - Before & After--Work in Progress

http://sewblessedmaw.blogspot.com/2013/06/kennys-deer-camp-is-taking-sewing-time.html
Check out the before photos.. We have made some progress... but a lot of work still to come!!


 
Front of the house.. [Still has to have the underpinning
put around the house.
But.. don't you girls know, I am enjoying that swing?

Front porch view

Kenny's fruit orchard.. has provided us with lots of fresh fruit.

Garden.. my camera didn't pick up, just how big this garden is.
Lots of veggies

Two fig bushes...loaded with figs
Fig preserves are coming!!!


Rose of Sharon Bush

This on the side of the driveway , leading up to the house.
There are 4-5 white and purple ones leading up
the driveway. They were small and almost
dead when Kenny got this place.. But, he has
brought them back .. So pretty, when you
drive up.

This photo , is really posted for memories for us..
Our grandson would kill me, if he saw it posted.ha

[When he was 2 yrs old, we took him and our granddaughter
on vacation with us.. Our room was on the 2nd floor. while
we were bringing up luggage, Kenny looked over and
saw Little Kenny "peein"  off the balcony..  He screamed
at him, "no Kenny, Don't do that!"  we could just
imagine the people on the first floor, walking out
about that time,and getting  "wet", lol
We saw this sign, and just had to buy it!!!

Back of house-- steps have to be painted.. I ran out of gray paint!
New screen has to be installed on the porch. [when finished,
won't this be a nice place to sit and eat , in the evening?] Such
a pretty view, from here too.

One of the many trails found on this property. Kenny has
cleared a lot of them.. We love walking them or riding
the 4-wheeler.

Now.. the grandkids can't be left out..  Here is there favorite,
the tire swing! To the left, is a basket ball goal...There's
lots for them to do here.

  2. What a big difference you have made to that cabin - it's so smart now. Love the little story about your sign - made me have a chuckle. Beautiful grounds - you will have to set up a little sewing corner with a machine so you can enjoy yourself there.

  3. I love, love, love the porch. My husband and I have been planning to add a porch to our house as we live in a rural area in So Cal. Yes, there's rural areas in Southern California, hehehe. What a wonderful retreat you have!

  4. The DeerCabin looks awesome! That sure is a lot of painting done, and LOVE the red. Yellow metal chairs on front porch are fabulous!!! Flowers and trees look productive; had no idea you could grow figs there...wow! We have limited fruit here. Just apples, pears, plums and berries...oh, rhubarb and an occasional peach squeaks by. But what we have is good. Now we can all see how busy you have been...blessings...D.

    1. thank you.. I love the red color too.. The yellow iron chairs, we just already had, but I liked them on the porch too.[I had originally thought to paint them white, but ended up ,liking the yellow].
      It has been busy around here..Not a lot of sewing time.. Hope to sew some later though.
