Lessons Learned August 21

August 21 Lessons learned this week

My husband has been home this week and I do love spending time with him, but more importantly when he is home I am on vacation.

With all the hard work my husband has been putting in we might get to eat from our garden this fall.

We are losing the battle against fire plight and our pear trees will have to be pulled out this fall when it is cool enough for my husband to dig them up. I really had big dreams for you little trees.

The black leaves are evidence of this debilitating disease.

It is in the lower branches and we can not prune it away with out cutting the tree down.

We have been fighting the drought, but as much as we are trying to keep the ground from cracking I found a small canyon growing near the fence at the back of the yard.

Dear God, please send us some rain. Amen

My husband put up a self in the Kitchen for my cook books, and bought me a little book stand. I know I am spoiled.

 This is not all of them. Really this self makes me very happy!

I might be a little over zealous when it comes to taking pictures of food. I will show you this weeks pictures in a whole other post. It is crazy!

Amaranth is a pretty grain, but it is hard to harvest.

My husband tries to steal all the window sills for his own purposes as soon as he thinks I am not looking.

This is our bedroom window.

He wants to take over the bathroom window too.

I do love my life even when it seems a bit chaotic. I am thankful for all of the blessings that we have received.

I hope you have a full week full of learning, love, and laughter.
