This photograph was taken at the beaver pond / dam / backwoods swimming hole, looking towards my beloved Backwoodsman (on the other side). A quote just came to mind. "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words" - by C. S. Lewis
My husband will forever be my very best friend, that I know for sure... I feel so lucky! : )

We had a warm spell which melted off our last snow. Thus far we've been greatly enjoying the colder weather : )

Life finds us "super busy as per usual" working on all of our many projects. My apologies for not being able to respond to everyone's emails... busy, busy, busy
Happy Winter & Happy 2012 to all!

Man originally had "hardworking hands" or he perished....

/ Wildernessgal's Sustainable Self Sufficiency Tip for The day /

If your hands ever get this bad or worse, the best homemade treatment for them is

1st Choice ~ "rubbing them down with warm rendered animal fats" or

2nd Choice ~ hand shearing a sheep (natural lanolin).

The first described is better than anything one could ever buy. : )
