Storms and Summer Fun

 I know that title sounds a little strange but along with summer fun comes summer storms. ☀️ 

Storms came through our region the other night and our son got called out and has been out for two days. They joined up with another Electiric Cooperative and restored power in that region. 


Our counties help each other out. This is not all of them. This is just one crew on one area. We were fortunate to be able to spot him. 

This meant he was not going to be home for a few days and when the girls were asked where they wanted to stay,  of course you know where they said. POPPIE AND GMAWS.  ❤️❤️❤️💙 

So we have made the best of it. 

We have played and played and worked some too. They know that we have to get our work done before we can play and they get rewarded. 

Diving sticks and rings are a necessity in our pool. I can remember when our boys were little, that was their favorite thing to do in the pool. Well, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. 



I had been waiting on this little booger to come from Amazon. A table top grill. This little thing works good. Perfect for kids and me too. These things are yummy 😋











We are going to have fun with this. It can even be used inside because it is odorless and smokeless. You can get yours here

We have been walking through the garden every day and checking. We will have green beans soon and corn. I am so excited. 


First time ever tye dying shirts. I guess this is why they say wear gloves. Just call me Smurfette.









Sometimes you just eat what they eat. But I tell yall what, those Zucchini pickles are a hit. We have gone through a jar and a half already.







How To Can Coleslaw

 You can can Cole slaw. I swear, no pun intended. I have canned coleslaw, fermented saurkraut and nonfermented saurkraut and used them in so many recipes. Yall check out my videos Canning Coleslaw and Saurkraut, Making Fermented Saurkraut and Canning Fermented Saurkraut.  I hope yall give them a try. It's another vegetable you can get into your family and use in so many recipes.

Life On A Farm

 Life on a farm. Love is labor and toiling together in the garden like we're Adam and Eve I guess, and feeding cows. But at least a farmgirl cleans up pretty good. That man didn't even break a sweat and I look like I took a dip in the pool from all the sweat.






Very good day today. 

A good day on the farm. We had work to do first son we could play the rest of the day. Swimming which was a little chilly. Picnic, much needed nap, supper, picking wild blackberries, looking at all our things in the garden and checking on their green beans, walking through our corn maze, watching the sun set, ice cream, and bug catching and inspecting. Even the cat wanted to get in the action.

I kid yall not, this is so the man of the home when I need to take a pic for a video, reel or blog. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but he loves me and tolerates me.
