It’s been raining for nearly 24 hours straight. Oh how we needed the rain. This morning I’m looking out the window at just how beautiful everything looks having been watered by God. He does a much better job then I do. ❤️💧🌈

Ice has blanketed the stream, is hugging the berries on the trees and is caressing the grass. This beautiful girl is showing off her beauty in a different light. And it’s magical.

Looking out the upstairs window towards downtown and you can see the tree in town covered in ice. It’s beautiful and scary all at once. The power flickers and the sound of ice falling in the wind has had us kept on our toes. But the beauty of Mother Nature brings excitement and draws us to the window to enjoy it.

The moon outside our window is so beautiful tonight.

How about some history on this beauty? The Murchison Honaker House started as a four room home built in 1862 in the town of Farmersville, TX by Rory Murchison as a wedding present to his son who was to be wed to a Miss Rike. Unfortunately, the son died before the marriage could take place.

The house was then rented out until 1884 when Henry Dickenson Honaker and his wife, Mary Bain, purchased the home. It was located directly across the street from her mother, Anna Melissa Hick Bain. This home, the Bain-Honaker House) has an historical marker and was donated to the Historical Society of Farmersville.

In 1894, the Honaker family picked a home design called “The Lone Star” design, moved the original 4 room house Rory Murchison built slightly back on the property and added the current floor plan we see today.

The wrap around porch was the pride and joy of the Honaker's, as was their children and family members. Four generations of the Honaker family lived in the home until 1968.
