Hello dear friends, I was going to do a New Year's post and now it is suddenly half way through January! What a different world we are in now compared to one short year ago. We are still safe and happy at the farm so today I am going to share some photos of our everyday life.
All eggs are the same inside but it is the outside that is interesting! Last spring we finally got around to ordering hens that would lay blue eggs. For those of you that follow our farm stories you may recall that between a fox and skunk and weasel many of our chickens were killed. We thought that our Azure Blue hens had all been killed but it turns out a couple of them did survive and now in addition to brown eggs we are enjoying blue eggs as well!
For Christmas I tried to find time to make more felt ornaments. I purchased lots of supplies but didnt manage to get many made. I did make a couple of mushrooms for the woodland tree which are adorned with little glass beads. So fun and very relaxing!
The woodland tree is turning out to be one of my favourite trees.
A couple of years ago we bought snowshoes. We didnt use them last year but this year we have done a few tramps around our fields. It is great exercise!
I captured this shot one morning. Sometimes these colours only last minutes but this time I was ready to take a picture.
You may remember that last fall we took on the project of rehabilitating Lake Ophelia. It is about half full of water now and my husband has used part of it as a skating rink.
Mouse prints!
Snowshoe prints!
I made some time for baking. These are English Muffins. There are so many recipes online to choose from.
Who doesn't love home made bread? I have been adding some cranberries and walnuts to our whole wheat bread as I thought it would taste great with leftover turkey. Delicious!
The woodland tree is tucked into our portico entry. Hopefully this area will be all finished next year.
Wishing everyone a great weekend! Thank you for visiting
