Morning Magic

Today I took Maya and Kyra for a walk and intentionally looked for the beauty in nature. We often walk in the cemetery by our house. It is a historic, well kept cemetary with lots of wildlife. 

It is also a beautiful place to daydream about our future home and all the nature I will be able to photograph. I am going to work no my photograph skills so I can bring you great photos. To go along with the progress we are making at our current home and the plans for more land.

My female dogs are usually very good on walks so I got a few decent shots of the creek that runs through the cemetery just after sunrise.

I am really enjoying this new hobby it is very peaceful. One of my goals for this period in my life is developing peace and harmony with nature in my everyday life. I even signed up on a stock photo site called Foap. That way maybe someday I can make a few extra $$$ as my skills improve. 

Soon I will be writing about our latest honey harvest and have a peaceful day!

Huskies and Homesteading

JUST SOME THOUGHTS 

I plan to write on this blog more. We have started thinking about getting a property with a couple acres that allows us to build a small modern homestead. I am not about all off grid or little to no modern convinces neither is my husband.

We have 3 huskies we absolutely love so we are calling it Huskies Homestead for now.

We currently live in an urban area with a small yard where we grow some of our own food. We have lots of fruits and veggies as well as laying hens and honeybees. 

We know we don't want to attempt to produce all our own food or raise large animals that need tons of space. We would like to expand on what we have started and create a beautiful place where can retire.

We would also like a place where our dogs can run. Enough room to have a nice fenced in backyard for humans and dogs. Space for a garden and chickens and a bee yard. Hopefully some fruit trees and maybe some rabbits and/or goats.

I personally am working at making more food from scratch or from the garden. I am also working on making bath and body items and candles for us and some to sell.

I dream of a place where we can do this on a larger scale but not so much we can't relax and enjoy. A little escape everyday in our own yard is what I have been dreaming about for years now.

I will be writing here as sort of a diary of our progress here and eventually in moving. I want to be able to look back and see what we have done over time.


I hope others enjoy the journey. Have a beautiful and peaceful day!
