It's Been Awhile

Hi everyone...it has been awhile since I have posted...busy yes...too busy to post...no...guess I have been lazy...Here is a few things that have been going on here...

1. The Girls (8 hens) are doing wonderful. They are giving us 5-8 eggs a day.
2. The Farms (here at our home, in a neighborhood) is amazing. Brent has given us such a gift. Since Brent's first planting at the end of March beginning of April, he has harvested 97 lbs of produce. We have had lettuce, yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, green beans (purple and bush) and basil.
3. We took the basil and turned it into 12 half pints of pesto.
4. Still working with the landscaper to get our yard back after the ABC's Extreme Makeover that happened to one of our neighbors. Our yard was torn up afterward.
5. Still hanging clothes on the clothes line....loving it...
6. We still cook from scratch...no processed food.
7. Brent has been making cheese: mozzarella, Gouda and cheddar right now.
8. We still are getting raw milk, every week....it taste so good.
9. I am still reading through the Bible..I have already read the New Testament and have started over...getting ready to finish Matthew. In the Old Testament, I am in 1 Kings and Jeremiah. This has been the the best read through the Bible I have ever done.

Take Care and have a blessed week.

Long Hiatus

It has been a long hiatus from blogging. Let me give you a small update.
1. My reading through the Bible has gone well. I am into Exodus, still Psalm and starting John tomorrow morning. It has been the best read through the Bible because even if you miss a week you are not behind when you start again. I don't feel like a failure.
2. We did not get much out of the garden this year. We did get some peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, rosemary, zucchini, summer squash and basil. The luffas are coming out right now.
3. The quail are gone but we do have 8 hens and 2 ducks. We are getting about 5-8 eggs a day. Unfortunately, the ducks are both male. So instead of Ozzie and Harriet, as of this morning they are Ozzie and Harry.
4. My job is good. My husband's new business is doing well.
5. The house still has not had any work done to it since December when we painted the kitchen and adjacent room red. We have both been busy.
