Just got back from one of the toughest snowshoeing trips I’ve ever done. Had to break trail the entire way…boy am I sore, but I found us a picnic spot if you’d like to join me!?!!

Yet another snowy day to face as I look across Lake Kagawong, but tulips in the dining room brighten up my life in so many ways! #bloomscrolling #tulipsTuesday #flowers#EastCoastKin #stainedglass

With all of the angst in the world right now, I am calming and celebrating my version of "Hug a Kid" day. ❀️ and enjoying the beauty of the aurora borealis photos that are being posted from Europe and Canada. #northernlights #hugakid #photography #EastCoastKin #farmlife
