-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!

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.

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!

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! 🍖

Still not the biggest fans of the #snow, but I still try to get in some #goat time with them outside on the #wilderstead

Who needs #dogtoys when you have power bars? 🤣😂 maybe she was feeling low on energy? (Don’t worry it isn’t plugged in)

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.

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

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. 😋

I would have laughed if you asked me a month ago if I would still be harvesting from the garden late November. Fish 🌮 tonight!

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.
