![20171216_135727.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeDhWTktL9CRTPgKNMMzQpxWxojpMUY58jxcMPRsZLESa/20171216_135727.jpg) Often in winter, the sun disappears for weeks at a time and with the days being shorter making some things more challenging. I use a small solar system, so sun is greatly appreciated! I have a generator for back up, and grateful to have only used it once this year!! Dark days of winter can cause mental and emotional exhaustion. We take our extra vitamin d, and make meals with dehydrated plants that are high in minerals and vitamins. I grow and forage all year round for our food (medicines). The sun usually brings crisp temperatures. This morning it is -44°c with the windchill! So grateful to be sharing with you, while tucked in the cabin, beside a beautiful woodstove with a nice cup of tea! No mosquitos or black flies to be found!! ![20171216_135739.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWDHrexpCJVrnjfqZexkGs1ke9RCMHMF5CbhkVaUW8rjq/20171216_135739.jpg) Winter solstice is soon upon us! The days will get longer, and we will be on the home stretch to spring!! Love my connection to Creator, Mother earth and all the glorious seasons! Have a wonderful day! Much love to all!

lol. Funny how we cherish similar things. I was just reveling in the idea that there are no mosquitoes or black flies as well. That allows me to spend hours in the bush! Heading out tomorrow to get more fire wood. <3

lol. Meanwhile I'm waiting for the -40C so that I can go and harvest chaga as well. However, it is really warm here. +5C today, but the weather should turn for the better.

Right now, because I am completely off grid, I have to depend on my cell phone and data. :) It brings me into awareness as to how much time I spend on the Internet. Where I live reception can sometimes be spotty, which took some time to get used to.
