Sunny hope you are well this summer and that it is not too terribly hot up there unlike here. My grandson, Oliver, always hears me say to him Olly, Olly, Oxenfree. I did not know it was a hide and seek phrase.
The phrase Olly, Olly, Oxenfree has a different name up here. Olly, Olly, Oxenrider is what we say. Means "all done." and yes, it did come from the game of Hide & Seek. Used to say that when we were kids. Still do to this day, once in a while.!
From the shores of New England to the Oregon coast, I would like to share some of the places that I've been and things that I've seen.
As we travel you may notice; there is an emphasis on Massachusetts...my home state, you will see a lot of barns...that I love, whether old, new or dilapidated, we are not traveling in any particular direction, and we may visit some places more than once.

features the Far Away Farm in Ashfield, Massachusetts.
I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West. For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!

it almost looks as if it's tucked in for a nap in a lily-bed.
Nice Image.
