update!

I have lots to update! I have been crazy busy this past spring and summer.  Gardening, Canning, reading about canning, baking, and lots more.  I have learned a lot.  Still so much to learn.  Always setting high expectations for myself. Good and not so good.I have been really exited about all the things we grew in the garden,  one was the harvest of our garlic!  Beautiful, words cannot describe how I felt about pulling up those big bulbs that were so plentiful.  I know it sound a little crazy...But I get so much joy out of God's creation.  How you can put a tiny seed in the soil and get such a amazing abundance!  We also had a beautiful little baby!  So today Ill just post photos of our summer joys!

                Made lots of Jam this summer! It was such great fun!
