Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop! Good morning! It’s a gorgeous almost-Fall day here in upper East Tennessee. Our garden, pitiful as it was this year, is petering out. That’s ok with me this time. I did can a few green beans. Like ten jars. While it’s so strange, I think God has had mercy…
Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop! I forgot Not just a little, but totally. It’s almost 3 pm and while the Blog Hop starts at 6 am, here I am just thinking about it. My mind has been occupied in my gardens. We’re not talking fancy gardens, but our family vegetable gardens. Plural, because we…

What I did see is how badly my husband got hurt—not so much severe trauma that was life-threatening, but in terms of pain, he…
Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop! Here we are at Wednesday again. I can tell you several things right off the bat that I’m sitting here feeling thankful for.
