#HarryClary is announcing his candidacy for President of the United States. #HarryClary2020

This week is Something to Change for #52WeeksofHome Spring has sprung, and I was sitting on my porch drinking coffee this morning (in 65° weather) and looking at the lovely green starting to emerge (sorry Northerners!) and trying to think of something to change. The only thing I really want to change about #ClaryFarmhouse is the Bradford Pear trees - they are gorgeous, fast growing, provide lots of shade etc.... but they also stink and are invasive/bad for the environment. The blooms sure are pretty though! #52weeksofhomeweek9

Happy #caturday from #MissFrances

This guy right here, @charlesclary , didnt just install a gigantic solo show this weekend... he also found out he was promoted to Associate Professor with Tenure by the Board of Trustees yesterday!!!! Congrats, husband, ye of the cut paper and beardyness, baddass of the farmhouse and alpha of the pup.

Inspired by @amyleigh_1902victorian 's post about who we could include as #DearestDwellers for #52WeeksOfHomeWeek8, so I dug out the history file. #ClaryFarmhouse used to be a bed and breakfast, and the former owners left us a history file with these photos and names attached. I'm very intrigued by the photos, and want to know more. I am especially curious about the figure in the back left of the first photo... I have been unable to find any information about enslaved people on this land, and it seems the first house was built after emancipation. I DO know that the white family would not have kept this house up on their own, and the house itself tells us this with the presence of a "help" bathroom out on the carport.... I also find it interesting that this house has always been filled with women; the Moore family had sons, but most of the photos are of the daughters, and I love seeing their photos through the years. #52WeeksOfHome

#52WeeksOfHome is all about #DearestDwellers this week. Our dearest dwellers are pup #HarryClary, and #MissFrances the loudest cat to ever meow (as seen in her second photo). They are loving the #ClaryFarmhouse since it has stairs to run up and down, lots of sunlight, and an echoing upstairs hall perfect for KittySinging. Last photo is me and the husband, the human dwellers here. #52WeeksOfHomeWeek8 #dogsofinstagram #catsofinstagram #catstagram #oldhouselove
