I am a wife, mother to small children, cattle rancher, homesteader, business owner, and cheesemaker. My hats are numerous, but I am fortunate enough to be able to wear them almost all at home. On our Canadian homestead and cattle ranch, winter mornings are the same as the summer mornings, just colder. There are chores, some more seasonal than others. Each morning, my first order of business after my feet hit the cold floor is coffee. Then, I stack the wood stove and pull on my insulated coveralls.
