Well, we woke up this morning to a beautiful little blanket of snow on the ground, much to our surprise.
Just two nights before we had an incredible storm move through leaving it's twisting path behind.
We have somewhere between 30 to 50 trees down in a tangled mess on the ridge just about 400 yards behind our house.
We are very thankful to the Lord that nothing but trees and fence lines were down and that no people or animals were injured.
On the bright side of the storm is, we'll have plenty of fire wood for next winter and canning season.
The newest {and prettiest} addition to the farm, a two year old palomino filly!
She's a little muddy, but she'll clean up nice. We have not named her yet and she is only halter broke- so we have our work cut out for us this spring. Fun work! :)

We got our birdhouses in a row.

Beautiful snow on some cedar trees.

Oh my....beautiful :) the palomino filly is just lovely... thank you so much for sharing your day with me today...
So glad you all are safe from the storms! I just watched your DVD on the Art of Sewing and wanted to thank you so much for your fun, simple instructions!!! Your family is such a blessing! My hubby and I have the dream of a "homestead" someday ~ Lord willing ~ and we are slowing reading and learning about doing so. For the meantime, we are trying to bloom right where we are planted. I can't wait to start some sewing projects with our daughter ~ she's six and very interested.
Thankful for you all and praying you all have a blessed year ahead!
Blessings~

It must be the season for wild weather where ever you are. We live in Northern NSW Australia, and we have had the most fierce summer storms and floodings this past week. We ended up with the kids trampoline across the road, many tree limbs down and a leeking roof in the kitchen! But we are all safe and well. Keep yourselves safe and warm.
So glad you are all were kept safe through the storm...and you are right...lots of wonderful firewood God has provided for you! :)
Loved all the pictures! Have a lovely weekend!
Warmly,
Katy :)
I have been purchasing raw dairy milk for my family. I purchased your Art of Dairy DVD and now I am hooked on all your DVD's! They are beyond informational. Your DVD's give us back our natural "survival" skills. I find it amazing how we lost our basic skills to self-produce food in such a short period of time. I am happy to see a growing movement towards self-sufficiency. I truly think God is working through you to bring these important skills back to people! My 5 and 6 year olds have been watching your DVD's over and over again. They are excited to put their knowledge into action very shortly!!!
i was wondering if you guys have ever used rubber snakes in the garden to scare away garden pest and if so did it work!
Beautiful photos!! I just got done watching your Homestead Blessings DVD on sewing. Curious to know what the exact pattern you used on the shirt that was sewn. I've been to the fabric store, but haven't been able to find the exact peasant blouse pattern.

Do you feed your chickens laying pellets?
Lovely to see your photos. I am glad you were all safe in the storm. Your snow photos look lovely -I am sitting here in the air conditioning so snow looks so cool and refreshing right now.
Hope you have a wonderful start to your spring!!
