Homestead Blog Hop #484

I’m sorry for being late on this week’s hop! We have had quite a rollercoaster week. We got a big snow storm dumping several inches of snow on Tuesday. We also got our maple tree taps put in to gear up for maple syrup season. If you haven’t tapped trees before, it’s a really fun and easy process. You can learn more about tree tapping in my blog article by clicking here. We were also devastated yesterday by the loss of our dog. She had been bravely battling cancer for a few months so we knew our time with her was limited but her loss has left a huge hole in our hearts. She was the best little buddy we could have asked for. She loved hanging out with the farm animals and stealing eggs from the chicken coop when she thought we weren’t looking. The end is always hard but it only makes every day you have with them more precious. Go hug your fur-babies from me. Now onto our weekly blog hop 🙂

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Homestead Blog Hop will take place every Wednesday and is for all things homesteading: real food recipes, farm animals, crafts, DIY, how-to’s, gardening, anything from-scratch, natural home/health, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, natural remedies, essential oils, & more! Basically anything related to homesteading.
