My friend Dianne Hicks Morrow would be the first to call her hundred year old farmhouse on Prince Edward Island a “crooked little house,” Trying to square it up by cropping proved to be impossible. The floor in the kitchen slopes by inches from side to side and when I gave their grandson a top, it continually whirled in the same direction—down the floor in a straight line from the sink to the wall on the other side of the kitchen.
The front door pictured is, I think, an original. I didn’t do a very good job of photographing it, but wanted to share it nonetheless. She’s written a book about this house she and her husband Andrew love so much entitled, “Fixing Up the Farmhouse,” which is a most enjoyable read. Almost as enjoyable as my week-long visit there in early September, 2016.

Thanks, Adriana. One of the things I like best about blogging is how much I’ve learned from comments expanding or pointing out misinformation in my blogs. Here is what Adriana says:
