Welcome to My Sukkah

Welcome to My Sukkah | Land of Honey
This is my sukkah this year, come on in and have a look around!

decorate a sukkah with corn | Land of Honey
Since Vayikra 23:39 tells us that Sukkot starts after the corn is harvested, I brought the mini blue popcorn I grew into the sukkah as a beautiful decoration (love that color!) and reminder of YHWH's provision.

Before we added the roof made of tree branches I hung sedum flowers from the bamboo.

As you can see our design is very simple this year. Bamboo polls and twine comprised the structure, while thrifted curtains were the 'walls.'

Simple bamboo and twine dwelling for Sukkot | Land of Honey
This was our temporary dwelling this year. It held up really well (no collapses this time), and I was happy with the design. Obviously it wasn't weatherproof, but I haven't seen a sukkah that is. At night we took in the table and chairs and the blanket we used for a rug. The next day we would take out whatever we felt like. Sometimes the table again, or a chair for reading, or even just the rug. Nothing was too heavy so it worked pretty well.

This bowl of apples brought such a nice perfume to the sukkah.

2 Cornithians 5:1 - if our earthly tent is destroyed we have an eternal building from YHWH.

The lanterns are regular ball jars with twine wrapped around them. The candles are the battery operated kind.

This was such a peaceful place to study and read or sit and talk.
