Hi y'all!

I'm still down and out with my cough and cold, so I've gone to the vault for some Christmas decor of the past.

Cold Weather Cozy

 Hi friends! It's been cold here in Kentucky and we even got a few inches of snow this morning. Winter has definitely shown up here and around the country! I actually enjoy cold weather and hunkering down in the house with warm sweaters, cozy  blankets and a steamy drink.  I have been working on a little kitchen refresh that I'm hoping to share in a few days. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy a few pictures of our living room fireplace area. I hope you all stay warm and have a terrific weekend! I made some homemade chicken soup this morning and it has been simmering away on the stove top - it smells so good on this blustery January day. I'm looking forward to having some for supper tonight!

The Adventure Begins

Welcome friends! I am so excited to finally roll out my new blog today.  I've been blogging at  Bluebird1959  since 2012.  I've had the itch to make a few changes and, after much thought, an entirely new blog seemed to be my best choice. So....here we go! Why Far Ago Farm? When I was growing up, there was a farm on our road with a very long driveway. At the drive entrance, a wooden sign post read "Farago Farm." My entire life, I always believed the inspiration for the farm's name was it's long drive - you know,   far ago.  As I considered names for this blog, I mentioned to my husband my plans to name it after that farm.  He actually grew up next to that farm and his family knew the owners.  He wondered why I picked that name. I rolled my eyes. ("Do I really need to explain this honey? ") Well, it turns out, the owners were Italian and their last name was Farago. Pronounced Fa-Rah-Go.  Wah wah...There went my cute life connection...

Neutral Zone

Welcome friends! Our house has been going through a transformation the last year or two.  We've done quite a bit of remodeling inside, along with several large outdoor projects. All of this time making design decisions has lead me to contemplate the look and feel I want for our home.  I think I've really honed in on my style.  It really hasn't changed much over the years - I love vintage, farmhouse and color, but I think my "design eye" has improved. You can see my love of color  here  at my old blog, Bluebird1959. Unfortunately, my living room furniture you see in that post was an impulse decision and while cozy, it was very hard to decorate around and it was just too bold for our recently empty nest. I lived with it for many years, but I am happy to say I am fortunate enough to have recently purchased a new sofa and two leather chairs in a neutral (to me) color. I found a taupe-brown sofa that is cozy, yet simple. I think it could "go"...
