December sunset

Officially winter doesn’t start until December 21, but it sure feels and looks like winter around here! Sunday morning we woke to a pile of snow on the ground. I’m not sure what the official measurements were, but it was at least 6″, maybe 9″. December snowfalls are so pretty, especially when you get that […]

FO Friday and a 5th birthday

ASimpleHomestead.com - 5th birthday

Papa and I have lost a lot of our holiday spirit this week. You see, another one of his sisters went Home on Sunday. It wasn’t totally unexpected, but we thought we had another month or two to spend with her.  Plus, it’s been bitterly cold this week – waking up to temperatures less than […]

my birthday present - exterior

If you read my Greek birthday post, it may already be evident that I had a good birthday.  But as a yarnaholic, my day was even better than expected.  I should have known something was up when Little Chick would mention “present” every time I said it was Mama’s birthday.  My family gave me a […]
