Celebrating Harvest-Hang on Little Tomato

One of my favorite things to grow in my garden is tomatoes. There is nothing quite as wonderful as a sun warmed tomato fresh from the garden. A dash of salt and pepper or a drizzle of oil and balsamic vinegar- I can't think of a bad way to enjoy a tomato-even green ones are great fired and dipped in zesty buttermilk ranch. It's a good thing dinner will soon be ready because I am getting a bit hungry now!

One in Four...

​I saw a friend's Facebook post this evening and was reminded that today, October 15, is pregnancy & infant loss awareness day. It was originally signed into existence by the House of Representatives during the Reagan administration-kinda cool, and something I probably would have never known about. I know because, I am 1 in 4. You never think it will be you until it is the life you are living and especially if you are someone like me who began life as a mother with 3 healthy boys. It's almost ironic, as I am now 1 in 4 women statistically who, has experienced the loss of a child during pregnancy, that it was my 4th pregnancy that suddenly threw us all a curve ball we weren't expecting.

Today I had planned to take the kids out to Tonnemakers Farm in Royal City, together with a couple other moms and their kiddos. However upon waking I found that the rain, that had lulled me to sleep, was still here creating a gray and soggy day-not quite ideal for taking kids to a farm. So we will reschedule for another day and instead enjoy a cozy afternoon indoors. With the extra time I have, I thought I ought to post a few updates on the projects going on around our home this past week.

Blessings One by One

​I’ve been hard at work preserving this year’s harvest.  We have potatoes, apples and peaches aplenty. Not to mention the few jars of jam, corn from Marla and sausage that we helped process with the family. When you think in terms of what has been harvested and the abundance of all the produce it is hard to remember that the rest of the year has been so difficult. No matter what, God is still working to provide for us and bless us. So often it is easy to focus on the tough times and the unpleasant things that we face that we forget how extravagantly we are loved and how much God desires to bless us. It is so important to remember to count our blessings because even though they come one by one they add up to a surprising amount of goodness in our lives.
