Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

As far as I can remember, this is the latest that I have posted the Homestead Blog Hop.

Life around our homestead has been a series of good house progress and some discouraging setbacks, today included. Today, we had challenges, but overcame the first ones. I can’t speak to the rest of the day, but it’s looking good with our first victory.

I am looking out our seven windows in the almost-finished sunroom. I see a bright blue sky, tall, tall trees, and leaves of green, brown, yellow, and burnt orange.

I hear woodpeckers, rustling leaves falling, and I can see the leaves twirling their way to the ground. This has to be my favorite sound and sight.

I am especially thankful for safety today. Near misses have reminded me about the fragile line between life and death. Our son saw someone die yesterday. Life is precious, and life is short.

I’m thankful today. I have another day, and so do you.
