Sweet Summer Days

 

Hello Friends. Welcome to today's post. 

I hole this summer is treating you kindly. 

When I go missing in action, there is usually a reason. 

Right now, its because we are enjoying all things summer and working on projects we have on our to do list to get done. 

We have cooked and baked, sewn some projects, swam, had picnics and smores, had spend the night parties, celebrated birthdays, 

We have worked cattle, canned up some goodies to stock the pantry, made tinctures from God's pharmacy, celebrated our Independence, seen new life born on the farm, tending to a sick calf, and a grieving momma cow, had play dates, tea parties,

Then there were days where we were praying for family as they were on vacation. 

Then praying for our other son who was suppose to have gone to drill for a month for training.  The day they were fixing to board the plane, his Commanding Officer found him in the bathroom throwing up blood. He was held back and they sent him to the ER right then. He was then set up with a specialist. After running several tests, they found tears and abrasions in his stomach and severe inflammation. Sadly, he did not get to catch up with his Batallion. He is on a strict diet and heavy antibiotics to help clear out bad bacteria. He is slowly recovering. 

When I say we have been busy, that is an understatement.  

We are still working on a project that is taking us a while, but we are hoping to get the majority of it done this summer before we have to leave for work again. I do not want to spoil it yet, but this is something I started praying over and planning since last summer. And we are seeing it through. Trust me, there will be a whole post and videos to go along with it. It may be next summer when they come out but it will get done. It is going to be so much easier on me and dear hubby seeings though we are entering our golden years. 

We are trying to sleep in as much as we can before school starts back. 

I don't even want to hear those words right now. We are having way too much fun. 

Just to also catch you up on other things going on here at the farm, you can check out these videos on our YouTube channel 

In my Breadmaking for Beginners Series, we are now entering the advanced section. In this section we are diving into understanding the benefits of whole grains and their nutritional value for our bodies. This is what I call biblical bread. Whole grains have been around since time began and more than once have saved nations from hunger. We take those grains and mill them into flour to bake all kinds of nutritional things with. You can join us now in this video. 

Even though we didn't grow a garden this year, I still got to grow some things in my new Mother's Day present 

I hope you have enjoyed catching up with us. Maybe I want be missing in action again so long. 

Until next time.
