A Small Homestead

Welcome to my blog about our adventures on and away from our modest family homestead. We are a young family trying to raise as much of our own food as possible and still enjoy life while holding down full time jobs and work two small home based businesses. Life can get hectic and challenging but at the end of the day we have most importantly each other, good food on our table and a roof over our heads.

Enjoying the Snow!

My last post was an update but was also a bit negative....

I sound like a winter hater.  Truth is, I don't hate winter at all.  We are snowmobile lovers so if we have enough snow to use the machines it is a ton of fun at our house.  I also enjoy cross country skiing though my boots have seen better days, I also enjoy skating though my skates no longer fit me and we also enjoy tobogganing and when it comes to toboggans we have more than enough of those - wooden ones, plastic ones, saucers, crazy carpets......

So, this morning my Son and I loaded up the truck and headed to the local recreation park.  This was my Son's first time tobogganing on a big hill so I wasn't sure he would enjoy it or even want to go down the hill.  Well, I was wrong.  He enjoyed it and when I asked if he wanted to try going down alone I found myself watching from the bottom of the hill.  He wanted to go down alone, without me, every time.



We had a ton of fun and hated to leave.  The temperatures are rising, the snow was getting a bit soft.  And, even though my last post was about dreaming of spring and camping I found myself hoping it doesn't rain today.  Winter is boring without the snow.  If we have to endure the cold temperatures then we might as well have the snow to play in.



I am looking forward to our next tobogganing adventure.  Next time I will take at least two toboggans so I'm not left watching all the fun!


'til next time!
