a sundry basket

wildflowers



This week marks my first as a full-time homesteader. I am so happy to take this leap!

This past weekend, we dug all of our potatoes. The nights have been unseasonably cold here in Kentucky and the mercury was dancing closer and closer to freezing with each week that passed. We made the decision to harvest anything left in the garden that could be affected by a true freeze.

I've also been busy gathering up as many natural dye materials as I can get in before the start to winter. I'll be dyeing my handspun yarns with these in the coming weeks.
