Good afternoon.
How's your Thursday going for you and what are you up to?
It's a cold and ❄️snowy one here. Last check temps were about -43 and brrrr 🥶
We've limited outdoor trips to potty breaks and that's it.
The cats all think this snow is humorous as they look outside
and not for them 😀
The puppy doesn't know what snow is yet and it's waaay too cold for him to find out just yet.
I hope you have a fantastic Thursday. If it's cold where you are do stay safe and warm.

Good morning and a great Tuesday to all of you. What will you be up to for your day? In between keeping track of puppy, Thor I'm going to attempt to do a little Christmas decor 😁 It's Giving Tuesday. Do you have a favorite place to give to? -Cindy- #simplybackwoods #tuesday #givingtuesday2022
Good morning and happy Friday. Whatcha all up to this morning. It's a chilly morning and a good one for a hot cup of cocoa and marshmallows 😉 Have you been out shopping for Black Friday or going out? 🎄Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. This year I haven't really started decorating and do encourage people with the state of the economy to no go too overboard this year on spending but still enjoy shopping and the holiday festivities 😀 Is Christmas a favorite of yours and if so have you started decorating yet? -Cindy- Simply Backwoods https://www.simplybackwoods.farm/ #simplybackwoods #Friday #christmastime #hotcocoa
Stopping by to wish you a most wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow. I hope if your prepping for tomorrow or traveling, you will find joy and gratitude in whatever your doing. Seek to stay peaceful, stay focused and keep preparing one🦶step🦶 at a time to never be found off guard. -Cindy- Simply Backwoods https://www.simplybackwoods.farm/
Good morning and a pleasant Sunday to you. Hot coffee on a cold morning sure hits the spot. How about you? Is it coffee or tea this morning? -Cindy- Simply Backwoods https://www.simplybackwoods.farm/
Good evening. How's your day been and how's your evening going? What are plans for Thanksgiving? Will you be cooking or going to family? I try to be thankful continually but Thanksgiving time makes me thankful even more so for family to spend time and good food with prices so high and shortages. I hope you have a good night and your weekend will be a good one. -Cindy- #simplybackwoods #fridayevening #thanksgiving
Good morning and a good Thursday to you. How's things going for you? Do you have snow and cold yet? I sure do here. The fur babies and I are staying in warm and cozy. Have a turkey in the oven for the dogs food and mine and trying to catch up a bit in between the puppy's zoomies 😁 I hope your day is the best. -Cindy- Simply Backwoods https://www.simplybackwoods.farm/ #simplybackwoods #thursdaymorning #colddays
A good morning and Thursday to everyone. Haven't been here for a few but thought I'd share on thing I've been up to. The new pond is close to being finished with the solar bubblers and liner. I took this picture the other day when it was raining but you get the idea of what I've been doing. I have more edge work to do and will plant around the edges once finished. Also making a place for Rusty my Sheltie to go in and get some water therapy while in the water. Been busy canning 🍅tomatoes and getting ready to do more plus 🥦🥕cabbage, carrots and broccoli to pick and ferment. I hope your day is the best. -Cindy- #simplybackwoods #Pondwork #canningveggies
Howdy and good morning to all. I hope you have a simply happy Monday 😉 I have one of my freezers on the way out so I'll continue to be busy canning or making up what's left in there. Mostly chicken and tomatoes from last years garden harvest. I've had it for sometime and thankful it's lasted so long. Didn't plan on extra work with the food in it but such is life. I'm canning more anyhow what's frozen in case of a grid down situation but this just pushes me harder to get it done 😀 -Cindy- Simply Backwoods https://www.simplybackwoods.farm/ #simplybackwoods #mondaymorning #canningandmorecanning
Good evening. How's your Monday been? Mine has been a little busy. I cut down a tree over the dog pond and have been cutting it up for other projects. I discovered the tree was trashing the pond every time it rained and it had to go for most the part. It was kind of cool to see one of the pond plants flowering this morning 😁 I've been doing partial water changes to clean the water up and using the water for the gardens & new trees. I use bubblers vs chemicals and should be more effective with the tree trimmed. One more pond to go and lots of weeding whoo hoo. Have a great night everyone. -Cindy- #Mondayevening #simplybackwoods #treetrimming #PondlifeandFlowers

Good evening. How's your Thursday going? Nothing like the cool of the woods and a stream to cool one off on hot days. For today it's in my dreams for another day 😃 Century Link did come today and cleared the lines of branches and vines but I still have some clean up to do. That's alright the hard part is done. I noticed last night an unwelcome guest--cabbage moths flitting around. I sprung into action and sprinkled all my cabbage with corn meal to deter them as much as I hate using up my cornmeal right now. Then I brewed up a batch of homemade repellant with water, onions, red pepper, garlic and dish soap. I'd have added hot pepper if I had any ready yet. It steeped overnight and strained it this morning and sprayed my cabbage. Fingers crossed it works. I think I'll be getting some of the cabbage in to ferment for now and long term soon just in case. Yes, one can ferment for long term storage 😃 i did a new post today on Life at My Casa on the new site. https://www.simplybackwoods.farm/whats-life-like-at-my-casa/ I get a little apprehensive of sharing. It's not always super smart to tell people what I'm doing. I decided to take the risk and hope in days to come no pilfers stop by to get some lead in the arse 😉 Have the best evening and hope to be back soon as time permits. Stay safe, Stay Aware, Stay Focused and stock up one step at a time. -Cindy- #Thursdayevening #CabbageMoths #homemadeButRepellant #Fermenting
A good Sunday morning to all of you. I hope you take some time to be refreshed today and be better prepared for the coming week. If you'd like to be lifted up and connect with the Sunday morning service at Focus Church, come on over. It's important to get beyond all the newsfeeds and what's going on and be refreshed and remember who enables us to overcome http://www.focuschurch.com/video/ Cindy #simplybackwoods #AmazingGrace #Sunday
Good evening. How was your first day of May and how's your evening going? Finally a day without rain here but still a little cooler than I'd like. Are you gardening this year and if so have you been able to get much planted yet? With a frost not so long ago the most I've put out is my cabbage, cauliflower and potatoes. I hope your enjoy your evening. -Cindy- #may1st2022 #sundayevening #gardening
Good evening. How's your Monday been going? It's way too cold here to my liking. It's a good night to stay in, stay warm and read a good book. Tonight I'm re-reading "The Longest Walk" by Ron Foster. If your looking for an excellent book this one I'd highly recommend. You can read it on Kindle or just buy it on Amazon 😊 Have the best night. -Cindy- #simplybackwoods #StayingWarmOnaColdNight
Good afternoon. How's your Wednesday going? I'm kicking back having a tasty tea concoction I created and thought I'd pop in to see what your up to. -Cindy- #simplybackwoods #WednesdayAfternoon #ChristmasTea
Hello everyone. How's your morning going? It's a good day to stay warm and cozy here with ☕️ coffee at 27 degrees. Thankfully it's warmed up 5 degrees in the last hour. Today I'll be making some easy white sandwich bread 🍞 and working on switching the room I use for starter plants. I have a bit of trouble with one 🐱cat getting into the starts in the other room. I already have grow lights in the room I'm moving some to so not too much work. I hope you have the best Tuesday. -Cindy- #simplybackwoods #tuesday #breadbaking #plantstarts
Good morning and a good Monday to everyone. Yup I'm still having my ☕️coffee. I saw this image and thought yea, this is how I feel but really I'm up 😅 I hope your Monday is a super one for you. Any plans for your day? I have things to get done around here and some 🍞bread to start rising but it's all in a day's work, right ☺️ -Cindy- #simplybackwoods #morningcoffee #monday
