Welcome to Vue-du-Lac Farm!!

Welcome to the Family Farm.

I am so glad you have come to check out life on a family farm.

This place was originally homesteaded by J. Alfred Jacot

My great great Grandpa.
This place has changed so much in the last 100+ years.
I have lived or temporarily resided in various places.
But when it all boils down to it, "The Farm" is home!
We have lived here for over a year now and I have had plans
 to start a blog about our adventures here on the farm.
So Welcome to
Vue-du-Lac Farm!
Watch for weekly blogs and photos.
And feel free to subscribe to the blog and follow my posts.

Ford on the Farm....

FORD on the FARM.

So My Wonderful Husband (Shane) bought for my birthday my Adopted Grandpa Burt's Pickup.

Ok so quick back story....

I decided to do a random acts of kindness day(which exploded into 2!) And in my randomness(is that a word?) I stopped by to see Cindy(Grandpa Burts daughter) And Grandpas old Ford was out where you could see it and we got to talking about it. Well, I shared that cindy still had it and that I was interested in it with my hubby, and we went out the next night and checked it out, and my hubby bought me, Grandpa Burts Ford. 

So...Now his baby is my baby and I am working to get it cleaned up and ready to be driven again.

It needs basic maintenance on the motor, cleaned up and polished. 

I plan to keep it just as he had it because frankly it is a nice old ford. And in pretty good shape for its year.

So here is the run down on it...

1972 Ford F-250 with the 360 and its a camper special. It has a automatic transmission. 

It has original radio, heater controls, and all knobs seem to be original as well.

 And the interioris in excellent shape!

It came with a canopy, spare tire, seat cover(still in box), CB, and trailer brakes.

It also has a tool box that is in  great condition. And it runs smooth.

This red and white baby is going to shine, and sound great.

And be drove at random times, because why not!

So without further ado Grandpa Burt and I's Ford....in photo form.

Spring has sprung

Spring has sprung!

Here on the farm spring is in full swing.

The grass is green, the trees are sprouting leaves

The flowers are popping up, And the ducks are here quacking about.

The Cats are basking in the sun when the dogs are not bugging them.

The dogs are playing in the water in the field, and trying to catch the ducks.

The kids are already begging to play in the sprinkler and also riding their bikes about, making  jumps and playing in the mud.

Rigs are being cleaned, and old ones fixed with the hopes of driving this summer.

The garden is being planned, the flowers to plant are being eyeballed in the store.

Oh spring,  a favorite season.

I love new growth, fresh earth smells, all the colors, and the mud.

Ok, I don't like mud on my floors or on or in my rig, but mud, it is a true sign that spring is upon us. And I love it!

The robins are out peeking in windows, and dancing upon the fences.

The woodpeckers though annoying are pecking away to make new homes.

The eagerness to do something has returned.

The want to be outside not inside is so strong that the kids bedtime keeps getting later and later.

Sunshine calls to us like a baby bird calls for its momma.

And we are all about answering that call. Being cooped up during the winter gets boring, and the toys that are inside are becoming not as much fun.

So WELCOME SPRING!!

 We welcome you with open arms, and look forward to what you bring, and all the beauty you share with us.

May God Bless your spring with many flowers and beautiful grass.

And may you see Gods beauty in everything as well.

Blessings from the Farm!!!
