Whiteley Creek Homestead

LIFE AT THE END OF A DIRT ROAD IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA

organically grown triticale in our field
canoeing in our wetlands
raspberries growing wild on our property
our back porch fieldstone fireplace

Flickering votive candles placed inside pint canning jars illuminate the sidewalk for my granddaughter's birthday party guests. Invitations requested that each guest bring a flashlight for outside play and to reinforce the camping theme.

Lighted sidewalk  

"Fireflies" created by loosely piling a strand of mini white Christmas tree lights in an over-sized clear glass jar provided the perfect lighting and enhanced the camping theme.

Hot dogs (free of sodium nitrates and sodium nitrites) and marshmallows for s'mores were roasted over a crackling fire in the porch fireplace.
