It has been a while since my last post. Things have just been really busy on the farm. My mom and stepdad are moving back here. They are completely remodeling my grandpaws house. We have been helping them do that. There is a lot to do. I have been trying to clean out a lot of stuff from my house. Now I am getting a lot of stuff from papaws house. I have been working all day on my kitchen reorganizing my cabinets and getting rid of stuff I just don`t use. My poor house is a wreck right now. I am really behind on things.
We finally finished up softball Tuesday night. Hannah made all-stars and it really has taken up a lot of time. Practices everyday for three hours. Some days they had practice in the morning and evening. All that hard work for just one win. Hannah did have fun. Sammy is still playing baseball. They started a special 7 and 8 year old team. You have to be 9 to be able to play all-stars. But we are not sure if there will be enough players.
My garden is doing really good. I have been getting zucchini, crooked neck squash, and cucumbers so far. Oh, carrots and beets too. I have canned 14 pints of pickled beets and 5 pints of cherries. I am going to be canning carrots tomorrow. My corn and beans look really good.
I am going to be making curtains for my mom. I am making them for the bathroom and kitchen. She may also want me to make some for the bedrooms and living room.
I sold all my big chickens. Just getting to costly to raise them. I can`t believe the price of chick starter. We are raising meat chickens.
Well there has been lots of others things going on. I will catch up on them later. We rented a movie and I am going to go watch it.
I like beets!! Yum Yum. I hope to make that to my garden list of plants to grow next year, Lord willing. Sounds like you are a busy gal, well try to relax a lil bit in between so you dont burn yourself out.
I am stopping by to invite you to participate in the first edition of the The Carnival of Home Preserving that will be posted at Laura Williams' Musings on Monday July 14th.
I am a stay-at-home, Christian homeschooling mom. My husband and I have been married for 19 years. We have been blessed with three kids,ages 18, 10 and 8. We live on a family farm and have several animals. I`m just a simple farm gal, who loves her God, family, friends and life.
