Sunday afternoon our friends, the Jenkins, invited us over for an impromptu cookout...and we actually got some sunshine, too!! : D
Despite all the wet weather, Ann's garden is looking lovely...don't you agree? She and her daughter also just finished organizing her under-the-stairs food storage to make room for this summer's produce...once it starts producing. She's much closer to having her annual stock of food supply figured out than I am. They have 7 in their family and the amount she's laid up over the past couple of years is still keeping them in good stead this year...even if the gardens don't do as well as we all hoped for this year. And that's a very comforting feeling! And a noble goal I'm striving for as well! As they say, "One step at a time"....
It's nice to be surrounded with inspiring friends to encourage us on in this homestead quest...I must say! Speaking of inspiring, I also met her friend, Kathy, who was an absolute delight...and taking on the homestead life with gusto! She told me that she was part of a little yahoo group of Christian homestead women dotted across the U.S. that encourage and coach each other in all the various homestead fronts. Very cool idea...and what great support!
These youngsters were also enjoying a stroll near the garden....
