There were some moments indoors before the spring sunshine beckoned us outdoors…the boys made a homegrown breakfast of eggs and sausage on the cookstove, while one of our kitty’s rested in some wool I was spinning…
I finished spinning and plying some very special yarn for a wee little bird yet to be born, and discovered a new place for our napping Pippi and Pumpkin ~ kitty bunkbeds…
Outdoors, we took care of some chores…taking water to the sheep and checking on our gardens…
There were logs to be shortened and bike jumps to be built…
A little cardboard box fire in the driveway followed by some chicken cuddles…
And now the babes sleep deeply with windows opened like a sliver to let in the cool, earthy smells of spring awakening.
Yes, today was a good day.
Hello out there, I'm happy you stopped by! My name is Jules and I am grateful to share my family's homegrown adventures here...from homeschooling to homesteading.
This space is my own reminder to savour the beauty amidst the chaos and messes of motherhood...to see the extraordinary in the everyday ordinary. Thank you for joining me.

Oh, that sweet soft pink yarn:)
I love the picture of your boys at the cookstove and your sweet girl in her skirt, bonnet and cowgirl boots.
Thinking of you,

We’re jealous of your open windows! And playing in all that dirt… sure looks like fun! Still below freezing here in Massachusetts and, while sunny today, awfully cold and windy! Our oldest did spend a little time outside barefoot (in the one tiny snow-free patch of yard) but even he couldn’t take much enjoyment in it. Yet!
Ah Jules, it does indeed look like a perfect day.
As you know, we are not quite as far into spring as you are! So very strange! But I am so glad you are getting to enjoy such warmth and sunshine.
Oh, we love fires too!
I think that must be the yarn. .. I am so excited!

Looks very fun. We are digging out of two feet of fresh snow here in Nova Scotia. Love the Kittys.
