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...

Cozy Winter Favorites: Wax Melts

Hi friends! I've been thinking about the things that make my house a home and give me all the cozy feels during the cold and sometimes dreary days of winter. I also thought it might be fun to do a little series of posts about them to share with you! Today let's visit one of all time favorite ways I like to cozy up my home, not just in the winter, but year around - wax melts!  There are so many things to like about wax melts, but my number one reason I'm a fan is no open flame! No danger of fire, no dirty soot. Don't get me wrong, I love a good candle (and do use them) but yikes, they sure burn dirty and make a mess when used day after day. And of course, the danger of forgetting to extinguish them and the risk of fire.  I do like the smell - or "throw" - of a candle more than a wax melt, but the wax melts are a great alternative!   Wax melts can be very economical - only a few dollars for a pack that will last you many, many days. They are easy to find - avail...
