The insulation master at his best. Even on the very cold but warmer day in January he works hard to get her done. It’s -12 as I type… was -24 this morning….. brrrr those are the temps without the windchill factored in.

Wiring and plumbing are roughed in and now we are insulating the addition.

Gonna be really nice having the extra bathroom…. and the new laundry/pantry area.

What else do you do on a snowy day waiting for the next 2 snowstorm/blizzards.

Add a bit of pink warmth♡

How about funky fridays

Didn’t get a chance to post our Wordless Wednesdays the last 2 weeks…..sorry, so let’s do something different today.

Funky Friday in the workshop. Russ is working hard bringing back new life to the old doors…. removing the old layers of paint and stain…. great job for someone with OCD tendencies…. he is meticulous!

Might need a new pair of gloves…

It stopped raining long enough to do a couple outside things…..

I did some simple Christmas decorations for the greenhouse doors and our main door plus some white lights around the front of the “L”. I will get a night time picture later

Rusty worked on the two support posts for our addition. The footings and concrete posts have all been dug to code but we are still finding some issues with the frost. This doesn’t make any sense but sometimes things don’t want go according to plan. He tweaked it and will be done in about hour.

Of course Murdoch is getting some sun and supervising the dig♡♡

HAPPY December 😊

Getting ready for s-n-o-w

It’s that time of year, notifications have come up in our feeds the last couple days…. the snow, the wind, the power outages.

November 2018

This year we have not had any snow to speak of yet the odd flurry, but it is coming….. perhaps tonight or tomorrow.

One of our fall chores is to get the snow blower back on the tractor. We need to make sure she is well oiled and greased and that we have extra shear pins and bolts extra diesel fuel etc.

This year the other half needs to learn how to use the snowblower just incase.

But for now we got the blower attached, oiled, working and ready for whatever winter has instore for us.

Of course the manager in charge was watching from a distance making sure Rusty gets it all done right.

Murdoch supervising and staying out of the winds

Murdoch making sure he parks it just right♡

A Very Blessed Thanksgiving

We want to wish all our friends and family a very, very blessed Thanksgiving.

We are so grateful for God’s hand, protection, leading and guidance this year. We started the year with many uncertainties, but He was so good to bring us through.

Vanessa had some health challenges that began at the beginning of the year and now into the fall she is finally getting better.

God has taken care of our needs providing time in and again. God provided Russ and Bob with work and they have not gone without the means to provide for thier families.

The gardens even though not as full as they would normally be for veggie boxes provided a beautiful harvest that was eaten fresh all season and now canned and stored on our shelves for fall and winter.

We have an amazing stack of firewood going into the basement that will provide our old house with plenty of warmth this winter season.

The animals growing out in the barn area will provide lots of food for days, weeks, and months.

So we have so much to be grateful for and we thank God for the protection, health and provisions.

We also thank God for the freedom and ability to share our faith and His love to those around us♡.

If you don’t know Jesus, get to know Him he is the greatest part of our lives and He makes such a difference.
