Sugar Bend Farm

It has been a while since I have blogged. Things have been busy with the garden, Noah, animals, and homeschool.  We are trying to finish school in the next couple of weeks, so we can have a summer! yeah!  The weather is nice here today.  It has rained a lot lately but I suppose we needed it.  The garden is coming along slowly.  But not as well as I had hoped, but I know it will take several years before the garden spot becomes workable enough to really grow things well.  But I am sure we will get a few things out of the garden this year. My tomatoes look well, and the squash is growing well also.  I am very disappointed in my peppers and okra, they aren't doing to well.  I am going to fertilize them today and finish mulching around everything.  Hopefully that will help them. 

I am also nursing a wound that I got Saturday night.  I was cooking a chicken in the oven for Sunday and I reached in and picked up the pan and I bumped the oven door and it closed onto my arm.  The very tender part of the arm lay against the very hot door until I could release the pan without spilling the chicken out and pull my arm from the oven.  It hurt really bad, but the worst part is now, having to take care of it while it heals.  The skin can off of two of the areas and I know that I will have scars from  it.  But I thank God, because it could have been worse and He also took the burning pain away very quickly.  I was able to sleep just fine that night after it happend.  I know that He can also heal the scars and keep me from having trouble with it further.  I have added  a photo of it to my flickr badge.  The photo's don't really look as bad as the actual wound does.
