Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Blessings to you today!

We have gray skies, drizzle, and snow on the way! How about you?

❄️ I circled back to say that the snow has already arrived! We have flurries of huge, puffy flakes swirling around outside the window! Lovely!

I’m hoping you’re having a good week.

Cozy Cabin Christmas

We put up a Christmas tree this week, and it’s providing a nice glow. I messed up and did not realize it was not LED lights, so I will probably sell it after this season since our off grid lifestyle does not allow us to let it stay lit for too long.

Cozy cabin feeling!

In the above picture, I’m not doing some strange peace sign. Be on the lookout soon for a post about our top 3 favorite things about living off grid.

Beautiful Trees 🎄

Our family drove an hour to look at some lights the other evening. That day was perfect weather for a stroll outside, and the trees were really pretty.

My photos turned out blurry. I didn’t realize I had a setting clicked on my phone that did a delay, and I didn’t hold still enough.

Here are some of those trees.

Cool effect, but wild! 😜

Have a great week, and I hope your photos turn out more sharp than mine!

Blessings,
