SO much going on at the farm, I have to take a minute to intentionally post....
The last month has consisted of our whole family of 8 getting into the dentist, with back to back appointments.
My 3 wisdom teeth are getting removed at 3 separate appointments πππ«ͺπ« and that's just my appointments in these next 30 days...ππ₯±
My husband's food truck Coastal Carolina BBQ busy Thur-Saturdays.
Brides wedding next Saturday, so planning all the beautiful details for her cake, mini apple pies and cupcakes. Beautiful fall wedding at Marion Magnolia in Cassopolis! π°π½ββοΈππ
Been harvesting and canning like crazy the last two weeks, Putting my kitchen to work!!!!
I'll share more later on what all has been done, and the updated pics of our 1881 root cellar!!!
For now I've canned 245 jars worth
In two weeks. With more to go!
Zested and juiced 75 lemons yesterday, with the goal of making lots of lemon curd hopefully!!! πππ
My goal is 2,000. But that's going to take awhile!
My hyper fixation lately has been that.... And learning how to make soap!
Can't wait to share more on that adventure!!!!π§Όπ§Όπ§Ό
Lately, my oldest age 16 has now acquired his level 2 permit, and the 14yo starts his classes the end of October.
Appointments sure do take away from the much work that needs to be accomplished here on the farm!
Celebrating birthdays as well!!! π₯³π₯³π₯³
Cheesecake factory for the win, A family tradition now I guess!
But alas! With so many things going on with a big family, it just is what it is!
I've also been in a whole new mindset of purging our home space in every room, drawer, closet and outside space. And on 15 acres..... That's a lot!
Ever since attending farmers market and doing market wagon multiple locations, I've been on a journey of healing my body that went through a lot of damage from so much stress... Currently on hormone therapy, with lots of energy now that I haven't had in years!!!! And went to Chicago the other day for a Dexa scan to see how my bone density is, and working on getting stronger πͺπ½ I need to be around a long time for this family of mine! π©·π©·π©·
Make sure your taking care of yourself entrepreneurs/providers/moms and dads!!!!! Time to heal and time to grow mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually, so you can continue doing all the things. π©·
We're also currently re-tilling our field with a whole new outlook and perspective of the way we want to grow the flower field. After a recent visit to Two paws farmhouse in Pawpaw, she has inspired me!!!! It is a little sad to look out at the field and not see much growing... perennials yes, and we did put in 40+ more hydrangeas this year.... But just a little disappointed that I didn't get more veggies in, flowers and all the crazy stuff I love to grow and try to grow!
I have been very busy with my husband helping his business grow!
Being a help meet requires work! π©·
But hoping next year I will be able to invest much more time in the garden, so y'all can come experience our farm that we get to love!!!!
So....if you see me missing on here, life and lots of it are going on over here
At our colorful farmhouse!
I think my favorite things lately are the kids garden we created this year, & the harp they just got! π
Making life beautiful with my hands for my family, being as productive as possible! Can't wait to see more of y'all! Have a blessed weekend! π©·π©·π©·π©·π©·π©·π©·π©·π©·π©·π©· -Trish
