-17 degrees this morning. I went out early to stoke the fire in the greenhouse. Looks like Bernie is taking care of things. I think he even watered the trays and beds! What a guy!

Instagram post 17866400360291274 Just a few more days until we start planting for the 2021 growing season! Very excited. Starting by thawing out the roof on the greenhouse with a toasty fire in the wood stove to let more sunshine inside. #mygreenhouse #4seasons #grow #growyourown #hrowyourownfood #growyourownmedicine #growyourownveggies #northernontario #northernlife #greenhouse #woodheat #woodstove #selfreliance
Instagram post 17858062532354727 Not going to let a broken oven keep me down! Slow cooker #bread with Parmesan cheese, herbs, and dehydrated cherry tomatoes 🍅 from our garden. Yummm! #baking #noovennoproblem #wilderstead
Instagram post 18091568203213276 Great timing oven! Right when we start roasting our meat for the #tortiere ! I am not mad, just disappointed. Clean the snow off the BBQ! 🍖 #ovenproblems #dinnerfail #snowybbq #wilderstead
Instagram post 17900004880643082 Still not the biggest fans of the #snow, but I still try to get in some #goat time with them outside on the #wilderstead #northernontario #goatsofinstagram #goatlife
Instagram post 17905454995612074 Who needs #dogtoys when you have power bars? 🤣😂 maybe she was feeling low on energy? (Don’t worry it isn’t plugged in) #dogsofinstagram #funnydog #powerfuldogs #wilderstead
Instagram post 18136275886139316 It’s the eve of the Winter Solstice. For the northern half of our little floating sphere, tomorrow means our days will start to get a little longer, a little brighter. #winter #wintersolstice #wintersolstice2020 #betterdaysahead #enjoylife #enjoythelittlethings #getoutside #getoutsideandplay #algomacountry @sault.ste.marie @algomacountry @ontariotravel
Instagram post 17887997989812560 When you are asked to make a #trout #pillow as a bit of a joke but you can’t do anything half way. 😂 This started as some old white fabric, thread, two buttons, and some fabric dye. The hardest part was giving it away. #wilderstead #makersgonnamake #makersofinstagram #makersmovement
Instagram post 17866624457189845 This fall is baffling me! It’s December 10th and there still isn’t snow on the ground in Algoma, northern Ontario. We should be buried under a couple feet of the white stuff by now. And here I am find patches of yellow foot chanterelles popping up in a corner of our property. This is normally the time of year that we’d be out hiking in snowshoes searching for chaga. Might have to toss some of these little chanterelles into the frying pan with dinner tonight. 😋 #foraging #winterforaging #yellowfootchanterelles #chanterelles #winterchanterelles #algoma #algomacountry #getoutside #wildmushrooms #naturelovers
Instagram post 17877753967986174 I would have laughed if you asked me a month ago if I would still be harvesting from the garden late November. Fish 🌮 tonight! Fish Tacos With Cumin Kale Salad - Taco Tuesday https://youtu.be/a8Gl8TEWp60
Instagram post 17996015134306886 We had a visitor at the #wilderstead ! Now to set up the trail cam 📸 to catch the #moose in the act. 👀 #northernontario
Instagram post 17894190268711941 It’s a dog’s life...chillin in front of a toasty wood stove while the mouthwatering venison meatballs sear and sizzle on top. Winter is close. #doglife #woodstovecooking #venisonfordinner #wilderstead
