The HomeAcre Hop #6
Happy Valentine’s Day and Welcome to The HomeAcre Hop #6! I’m so glad to have you here. 
I searched high and low for hearts in the brush and snow…
To send these heartfelt Valentines Wishes to You!
Here’s a little peek at tomorrow’s post! Hope you have a Happy Valentine’s Day
I hope you are all staying warm and dry, with a clear path to the barn and your electricity still on! We’ve been spared the heavy snow fall this week here in northern Illinois. The weather has been pretty crazy with temps in the 40s and rain one day and down in the teens with snow just a few hours later. I’m so looking forward to the warm weather! Our friends in the south have shared some great photos of green things growing and posts of their gardening adventures. The gardener in me is living vicariously through you!
I hope you have all had a chance to visit the other blog hops that I host here on The Self Sufficient HomeAcre! On Sunday you are invited to share your creative endeavors on The Creative HomeAcre Hop. Wednesdays are for Wildcrafting Wednesday with your posts on herbs, and their many uses, and homesteading related posts. Hope to see you there!
Now, on to our featured posts from last week…
These Light Footsteps - Tips for a Greener Valentine’s Day
Our Neck of the Woods - How to Make Maple Syrup
Rediscovering Lost Arts from Our Mothers - Mozzerella Cheese
A View From The Cottage - Growing Food in Winter

I especially like posts about things that are environmentally friendly, and encourage others to become more self sufficient!
