Thoughts
Sometimes while I am working I think of things that are interesting. I sometimes make personal discoveries or have personal revelations that I want to share.

Moving on
I started writing a less personal version of this post and it was so boring I was falling asleep trying to write it. I realized that if I want this post to be worth my time writing it and your time reading it then I am going to have to be a little vulnerable and actually open up. Those of you who know us personally know that we have been hoping to buy my grandma’s home, the one we have been living in for the past, almost eight years. It has been both a blessing and a struggle to be here with my grandma. I love that my kids have…

Chocolate Chip Cookie
Okay, so this doesn’t really fall under my normal scope of this blog. It is really just something that I make a lot and think about even more. I am pretty nerdy about baking. And one of the main reasons I started this blog was so that if people ask me how I do something I will have the all the information in one convenient place. Then I can just send them the link. And, not to brag, but my cookies are pretty popular anywhere I take them, and something I get asked about quite a bit. Also, now that we are in quarantine I haven’t been able to make…

Not Just Produce
I realize that I have not posted about all the things we have been doing. I am hoping that next year will be a little better. But the fact of the matter is that I have spent most of the spring summer and fall growing something. Not produce, it’s a baby! A baby boy to be precise. If you are friends with me in real life you already know this. But I just wanted to make sure it was documented in my blog as well. It turns out growing a baby takes a lot out of a person. Looking back on the summer and fall I have realized just how…

Give Thanks!
This week we celebrated Thanksgiving. It is great to be reminded to give thanks for all that we have. I got so busy toward the end of the summer that I just didn’t do anything on the blog. I put up a lot of fruits and vegetables. I took a lot of pictures and videos; but, I haven’t post anything for a long time. Now that it has started snowing I will take a break from working outside. I got a little bit overwhelmed at the end of the summer/fall. I had so much produce that I was trying to take care of, I just couldn’t do it all. I…

Bringing forth good fruit
My grandma’s orchard has five apple trees, but I normally only think of four of them. The fifth has not been producing very well in the five years we have been here. It puts on apples but not very many and they got wormy and soft really early. I was ready to cut this tree down. Luckily my husband is more considerate of my grandparent’s feelings. My grandma loves every plant in her yard. And it is still her property, we are just trying to help her take care of it. So he endorsed just pruning it well and watching to see what happened. Which we did. Sadly this tree…
