Carting Water

We got a late start this year.  Yes, its September and I am getting a fair amount of tomatoes.

This year I learned what its like to grow food as a pioneer would have.
Waiting for the rain, but the most we have gotten is a quarter of an inch.
There is no water on the farm except for 2 ponds and the dry creeks.  So, what do you do when it doesn't rain.
You cart water.
So, for the past three days I have filled the two water barrels I have, which hold 60 gallons each.

I will continue to pray for rain.

Our Home



The building of our house is coming along. 
The basement is in and they have begun
framing the house. 
Yesterday, before we left the crew I 
decided to take them some homemade
peach ice cream for a treat.


On a hot day something cold to eat is always
nice.

After, our wet spring the summer has been dry.
Which is making it nice for building a home.
The one thing I have noticed the weather in the
summer is hot and dry here in Kentucky.




This is what you see when you
drive away from the house.
The view is just lovely.

Summer in the Garden

Summer Flowers It never amazes me how hard we work through Spring for our Summer flowers. Zinnias, Sunflowers and of course Dahlia...
