Homestead Blog Hop 452

Hello there!

If you’ve checked in here for the blog hop, I apologize for it being posted late.

Lately my phone has just gone nuts! It’s been going on more and more, but it pretty much just want kaput on me at last. I had to get another one, and in the process of changing everything over, I couldn’t access any apps, or even my email! Truthfully, it’s been a quiet couple of days with only basic phone capabilities. However, since I do 100 percent of my blogging on my phone, it made that kind of tricky. Well, let’s be honest. It just wasn’t happening.

I stopped into my phone provider Sunday and again today, and we will see if that gets all of the kinks out. At the very least, I can post this blog hop today, even half a day late.

I hope you had a nice Fourth of July! 💥 We did. I picked wild berries for a couple of hours, listened to a good talk on hormones, and made some fruit salad. The boys and Greg worked to set our big old propane tanks up on the hill behind the house. With the mini-excavator. That actually looked a little iffy, so I mostly didn’t even look. Snapped a quick picture just for the record book, though!

Later on, we attended a small church gathering at some friends’ home. Good food, nice company, and interesting conversation made for a great evening.

Time for me to stop rambling and just get this thing up on the blog so you can add your posts!

Have a great day!
