Nope, I did not fall off the face of the earth, just became a new mommy!!! Luckily, I put some seeds in the ground before she arrived because that is about all the time I have had for my garden. Luckily it doesn't take much to grow a garden. I have been able to harvest, spinach, radishes, tomatoes, peppers, watermelon, spaghetti squash, carrots, zucchini, beans, peas, oregano, and lavender. My pumpkin, butternut squash, and birdhouse gourds shouldn't be far behind. Canning is usually a big event around this house but I am finding that dehydrating takes a lot less time. Tomatoes, oregano, and lavender are all in there as we speak.
Here are some pictures I have been meaning to post:

| This was the garden in June |

| I was able to make baby food with all the crops. This zucchini is all ready for the freezer. |

| During the warm weather the chickens enjoyed their coop being filled with water. Standing in cold water kept their body heat down. |
Now, to my favorite season of all.....FALL. There is something about the way life slows down and the nesting occurs right before winter. I love the cool weather and enjoy drinking a hot coffee again. You can go outside without being eaten by mosquitoes and enjoy a blazing campfire. It is also the perfect time to bundle up and enjoy the company of someone the you love!!!
