Blessings this Week: 11.27.2015 Edition



Happy Thanksgiving! 

Give thanks, with a grateful heart, for blessings big and small! God is the Giver of all good things! 


You'll have to forgive me- with traveling and so forth for Thanksgiving, I wrote this post a little early, so all these blessings are from early in the week... maybe I should call it the 11.25.2015 Edition? I'll catch up next week. 

...   ...   ...   ...   ...



Friday brought the first big snowstorm of the season- Winter is here. We got about 10 inches at our home. So beautiful! We're also grateful that we have a truck and got home safely.

And our retreat guests got safely to Camp, too.

...   ...   ...   ...   ...



The next morning, we were greeted with this sunrise

...   ...   ...   ...   ...




The little birds on our railing, feathers all puffed up

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Apple crisp. Tons of apple crisp.

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

A lazy Sunday- just what we needed.

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

Bunny rabbit tracks on the freshly fallen snow- and big deer tracks, too. 

...   ...   ...   ...   ...


...   ...   ...   ...   ...


Snowballs and "camp kids."

...   ...   ...   ...   ...



Have I mentioned how much I love these floors? Totally worth it. 

...   ...   ...   ...   ...




I finally found our sheets and bedding (that were packed away, inexplicably, in the trunk that was in the living room. I'm a terrible packer...)-- so after about two months, we put away the sleeping bags and have a real bed again! 

...   ...   ...   ...   ...

We have plans to see family this weekend- and I'm reminded just how blessed we are to have loved ones close enough to visit, as well as loved ones who are farther away. Our thoughts are with you all this season!

THIS WEEK


Here around the blog this week...

We heard from Cari- she shared with us as part of our Featured Farmers interviews. Even though Cari doesn't usually write about homesteading, she has lots of gems to share


I'm finally sharing the last step (!!!) of refinishing our hardwood floors- prepping and varnishing! What a project! 


Have a very happy Thanksgiving weekend- may you find blessings easily, and may your holiday be filled with joy!!
