Hi Friends,
I thought I’d give you a quick update. Things have been super busy around here – as they
always are during the summer. I wish I
could just write blog posts mid-air as I think of them, because then there’d be
a ton more! However, finding a moment to
sit down and write something just hasn’t happened recently!
Anywho… some of the farm team has been away for 2 weeks on a
family vacation/wedding trip out west.
This means that I’ve been surrounded by my husband, my two boys and our
two apprentices full time for these 2 weeks.
Praise the Lord that we have great guys who are with us this year and I
enjoy being around them! I was very
excited for church yesterday tho, partly for the Godly Message and partly to
see some female companions! {I will say
we are blessed to have a neighbor lady help us process chickens every week so I
did have her to bring some estrogen to all the testosterone I’m surrounded
by!} I love our church, and especially
love the friendships I’ve built with the families/ladies there. We’ve all become great friends.
Today starts day 3 of canning for me. My grandmother canned things and I have
memories of her making currant jam and sealing the jars with a thick layer of
wax on each jar. Those are memories
that I hold dearly and bring a smile to my face. My mom never canned foods when I was growing
up so I’m learning from scratch here. I
helped my mother-in-law a few times here and there but with her gone it’s all
to me! And I have TONS of tomatoes that
I need to do something with. I have
decided to make salsa and tomato sauce.
I have all my ingredients prepped and am ready to start here in just a
moment. Wish me luck! I’ll post some pictures when it’s all done!
