The Orchard in the Grove

We love citrus more than any other fruit,
but we thought it would be nice to have a variety of fruits
available all year round.
What better place to pick them
than from your own backyard.
Beautiful BlossomsWe were able to get 28 fruit trees from a
family farm in Georgia, about a month ago.
Different varieties of:
Peaches
Pears
Apples
Pomegranate
Plums
Nectarine
Thank you, Lord,
for your provision once again.

"Howdy Folks, just enjoying a day at the farm."

After picking up another load of hay,
we decided to go back to the strawberry field one more time.
We did get ALOT more strawberries,
but we also got another blessing........
.........a truck full of onions!!!
The owners of the strawberry field had picked
all they wanted, so they let us pick all that we wanted!!
A "Big Bunch".
"Moooo"

Well, it's been a great day, don't you think.
Got a lot of work done and had fun doin it :)
Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in thy presence if fulness of joy;
at the right hand there are pleasures
for evermore.
(Psalm 16:11)
