Homestead Blog Hop 475

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to’s, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.

Well, Howdy, Folks! 🤠

Brr! It’s feeling chilly out there!

Crunchy noises under my feet, frosted leaves, and sparkly diamonds glistening in the sunlight have made my morning walks more interesting.

As long as I bundle up, and watch out for big wild creatures out there, I enjoy getting outside.

I actually saw some big bear prints all over our water tanks and up the hill, which set me into tracking mode. When younger, what we learned in Pathfinders taught us some valuable lessons in animal tracking. Mud–and deep mud, at that, makes the tracking much easier.

I actually spent a bit of time out there yesterday hunting down the bear tracks.

Thankfully, I didn’t meet Mr Black Bear face to face, but I verified his recent presence. ✅

Here’s a few of my findings. 🐾

And this truly is the last rose of summer from our homestead. I love how it looks, even frozen.

Have a wonderful week!
