Welcome to the Sunday Sunshine Blog Hop!Sunday Sunshine Blog Hop

Hello, Everyone!  Welcome back to the Sunday Sunshine Blog Hop!  

Today our family is heading out on as adventure like no other.

Last week we did the Creeper Trail, which was wonderful! Couple on Virginia Creeper Trail

Today we are heading to the Tough Mudder challenge. I will not be participating in this. I have no desire to go wallowing in the mud at this point of my life.

However, our sons are doing the challenge, which is a 5K race with mud and all kinds of obstacles. I will be happy to be a spectator on this one.

Several young people from our church and our pastor are participating. He likes to include the kids in these challenges. A couple years ago they did a polar plunge into an icy lake. I didn’t do that either.

Should be interesting for sure!

Not sure our boys will want photos of this circulating, but who knows?

This past week, we’ve been enjoying wonderful weather in the 70’s!  This coming week, reality hits. We are supposed to hit 24 by midweek. Yikes!  We will definitely be firing up our wood stove!  
On that note, you can learn more about a tool that makes splitting our kindling easier—see that post.  Using the Kindling Cracker on Our Off Grid Homestead.

S
tay warm!  

Have a great week!

Thanks for coming by!
