Sweet Harvest Homestead

This podcast is brought to you by The Naked Pig in Oakboro, NC If you've followed my blog or read my column for any amount of time, you know the story of how we bought our little white farmhouse in Stanfield.  For those of you who don't know the story, I'll give you the short version.  It was 2006, and after looking for the perfect place for a year, we finally found 12 acres with a little white farmhouse.  The house was built in 1915, and the instant I saw it, I knew it was the one.   While my husband and realtor were indoors looking around, I stole quietly outside to check out the land and outbuildings.  The woods were full of persimmon and hickory trees, and there was even a lilac bush (something I'd always wanted).   I made my way to the unattached garage, and when I opened the door, I saw one of the most beautiful paintings in progress that I have ever seen!  There were numerous painted canvases in that small space and to me; they were all works of art.  M
