Summer in the Fall

This year we decided to plant late since the weather is so much nicer.
So the Summer/Fall garden consists of:
Watermelon
Peas
Corn
Squash
Okra
Sweet Potatoes
and Indian Corn for Thanksgiving.
As of this post, we are now picking squash and peas are coming soon.
Why do we start every farm post with repairing equipment???
Cause that's how we start every job!!

Testing 1...2....3

James has been begging the girls to make him some new
long "Daniel Boone" pants like these were, a looong time ago.


Mary, (or Maggie as Jon & James calls her),
Our littlest farm girl.

The Farm Patrol.

The fall garden is one of our favorite gardens,
because the weather is usually under 100 deg..

This year it's been in the 80's and soooo nice.

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,

so is a faithful messenger to them that send him:

for he refresheth the soul of his masters.



James, our thirst quencher.

He's is in charge of making sure all the workers
have plenty of liquid to quench their thirst.



Sorry, Aunt Mary.
We tried, but pedicures and farming just don't go together.

This is real life.

Looks like we'll have food this winter.

:)

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
and herb for the service of man:
that he may bring forth food out of the earth:...
Psalm 104:14
Thank you, Lord.
