Being (mostly) self sufficient with how we heat our home feels so good!

I don’t get adventurous with my sourdough. Over the last few years I’ve only ever made loaves, and have only ever tried two recipes!

One of our three layers. I enjoy this time of year when the ground is frozen and there’s no mud. It makes for cleaner chickens and cleaner eggs. ❄️

I saw so few monarchs this summer, but managed to capture these photos. I’m planning to plant more native plants and continue to allow milkweed to grow where it pleases 🧡
