This is a big day!

The 500th Homestead Blog Hop!

That’s impressive!

I’ve only been here for part of the journey, but it’s been fun!

I got to choose features this week, and I think you’ll like them! 😃

At our homestead, we are trying to keep up and get a few things into the garden, in between rain showers.

I’m also trying to add some homey touches to our cabin, while we are still in construction, so that’s a strange thing. But the heart of a woman yearns for a homey nest, doesn’t it!

The below two pictures imperfectly portray some of the homeyness I’m working on creating. This is our dark corner around the woodstove. Gonna have to add more light touches but it’s coming along.

Over on our YouTube channel, I’ve been sharing some homestead recipes in the past couple of weeks.

Last one was on a whole slew of vegan dishes, including vegan lasagna. It was yummy, but super simple to make.

Please consider subscribing here and at YouTube (it’s FREE!)! We are working towards our FIRST 1000 SUBSCRIBERS, and are getting really close! We are at 876 at YouTube, and every person counts and we appreciate you all!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
