Welcome to Gratitude Sunday! This is a weekly link up hosted by Taryn at Wooly Moss Roots where we all share what we have been grateful for this last week. Here are a few highlights from our week:

-Discovering the Lifeline Farms Creamery Store down in the Bitterroot where we can get local, organic discounted butter and cheese ends. It is also so wonderful to be able to buy milk only a few miles from the farm instead of at a store in town.

-A snow storm to help build up the snow pack in the mountains so we won’t have as dry of a summer (and hopefully lessen the forest fire danger!)

-Publishing my first YouTube video as part of my post on making sourdough bread. I was a bit shy about making a video of myself for the internet so if you watch it you will notice it is only of my arms down- a nice compromise!

-Our little nugget at just 18 months being able to say “poopy” and “potty” when she needs to go instead of us having to watch for her body cues! I’m already looking forward to the day when we can retire our beloved cloth diapers.

-Sitting on a stool next to the toasty woodstove writing while it dumped snow outside.

-A wonderful afternoon adventure to the Blackfoot River and getting to see a rainbow!

-Finally having closure and moving forward on a new path.

-Our little nugget starting to pick out clothes she wants to wear and clothes she wants to put on her doll “baby”. She ends up with some interesting outfits but it is so much fun to see her be able to make choices and grow into a little girl with her own opinions.

-Making our favorite lemon roasted chicken.

-Continuing on our search for a new homestead and finding hope in the idea that an area we used to think we wouldn’t want to live may actually be a great fit for us because of the long agricultural history and lower home/land prices there.
