Hopeful Heart

I'm Back.......

Good morning everyonem

I am better.  I am still struggling but I am better.  Our garden is still struggling too.  We received 1/4 inch of rain.  We need much more.  Please Lord!

We picked 1/2 bushel of green beans, a bag full of cucumbers and some squash.  We are getting  few huckleberies, ground cherries and the first of our red currant and Mattls Willd Cherry Tomatos!  We are picking a few banana peppers and cayenne peppers..  I do not believe we will get any sweet corn.  The wind broke alot of the field corn so if we get any it will be very little.  We are picking lots of purple hull peas.  The okra has bloomed. The Jalopeno and bell peppers should begin coming in today or tomorrow.  Everything is really slow because of the heat and lack of rain.  I am very thankful and downright grateful for the produce God is giving us.  He has answered so many of our prayers.  A) I havelearned an awful lot so far  B) He has sent rain   C)We are getting some produce  D) God sent the bees to pollinate  E)He gave us the strength and motivation to dig up the yard and start raising food!  There are many more prayers He has answered!  God is so good!

I went to my first sewing class yesterday.  It was a makeup class.  I was too sick to care last week.  I got my skirt cut out and the side seams sewn.  Today I have another class.  I am so blessed to be able to take these classes.

Well, thats all I have time for this morning.  I am off to my sewing  class in a few minutes.  I will post a picture of the ground cherries later this afternnon, God willing!  They taste good and are so unusual!

May the Lord of all creation bless you today as you seek His precious face!

Hi, I am glad you are felling better. I am continuing to pray for you. Maybe God is letting you have a break from having to deal with ALL the bounty from your garden just yet til you feel better.

Love in Christ, Chicken Girl

I am so glad to know you are getting better. That is good. Now it is my turn to be getting an ear infection but not dizzy with it so will be fine and am taking my golden seal, myrrh, and cayenne tea.
Fun to go to a sewing class. Maybe if I went to a sewing class my sewing would get done! It is really stacking up. And these silly cows and their calves (a small her of 15 of them) are determined to get into the hay-meadow. They are suppose to be way way out on the range but they keep circling back. Bummer! so will be moving cattle again today. have fun with your sewing and gardening. :) Roxanne

So glad to hear you're feeling better now, and I hope the improvement continues. That's a lot of produce you're bringing in at the moment, though it's a shame about the sweetcorn. My husband was murmuring about sweetcorn the other day, and was rather disappointed when I reminded him that it is in season for about two weeks in September here. So he'll have to wait.

Your sewing class sounds fun.

Best wishes,
Jo
