Homestead Blog Hop 605

Homestead Blog Hop

Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop, a weekly gathering for homesteaders and simple living enthusiasts to share DIY projects, from-scratch recipes, and creative inspiration. This week’s hop features cozy homesteading tips, along with practical ideas that celebrate handmade living and self-sufficiency.

Whether you’re looking for seasonal crafts, homemade treats, or encouragement on your homesteading journey, you’ll find plenty of inspiration to carry into the new year. Grab a cup of tea, explore the featured posts, and join us in sharing your own homestead creations.

A Personal Note:

I woke up to a delicious 58 degrees outside! Makes me want to get right outside before the day heats up!

I think I’ll do just that!

I’ve been working in our garden these last days. It’s small, but now that I see it growing a little, I’m proud of it.

One thing I am learning is this: don’t compare your garden to others’ gardens! That is a challenge when I see so many bursting with harvests already and mine is just poking along!

But mine will get there and so will yours!

Our friend, Larry, told us we can plant corn up to the 4th of July, and we’re not there yet! So I planted another 2 little rows and will hope for the best, since it mostly seems I plant it for the coons!

Keep trying!

Enjoy your day!
