Garden Fresh

It's happening, it's really happening. We may not have enough veggies for the entire winter but we are having a good trial run at it. This week we pulled out first corn and potatoes out of the garden. I honestly am already looking forward to next year and fixing the mistakes from this year.

Preparing

The kids have been helping me with the farmers market. One of the things they do is draw on the bags for me. This customers love it and it gives the kids something to do while I am preparing. 

Sunday Breakfast

These pictures may not look special to others but to me they are priceless. Let me explain our hero (daddy) leaves early each morning for work and on Saturdays we have the farmers market. So on Sunday we get up and take care of the animals and then set down for a breakfast together. 

It just gives us a few minutes to relax together and laugh together before everyone gets dressed for church. Even if the milk sets on the table longer than I like before being strained. Even if it means there is not time to do breakfast dishes. 

I don't really care about the dirty dishes or not having time to put on make up. I care about having time for my kids and memories. I care that we do not arrive at church stressed and unable to focus.

Green Beans and Time

Our green beans were consumed by the grass so we have bought green beans. Yes it is cheaper than canned but that is only half the benefit. The time setting together has been amazing. Hope looks upset in this picture but she said we should give up TV and do more things like this.

Teen Chickens

My babies have gotten so big. They have become my relaxing point. I have frozen strawberry tops on the freezer just for hot days. I just set in the yard and watch them eat. They are not giving me eggs yet and that is okay. I do not expect them for a couple of months.
