Goodness!! Where has the time went?  It has been one month since I last posted.  Spring and fall is a stressful time for our family.  We want to grow a productive garden, put as much produce away as possible, and homeschool.  I get stressed trying to squeeze all of this into a day.  It is important to us to teach our children and eat healthy food.  So, we try to do it all.  Everything has a season and this season has almost passed.  We have been canning grape juice, corn relish, tomatoes, digging potatoes, making apple butter and homeschooling.

We knew that we needed to get our potatoes dug, but with everything else, we just could not find the time.  When the forecast called for possible thunderstorms, with localized flooding, we knew we had to get them out of the ground.  With the head of the household at work, the maidens and I did school, then set to work.  It really was not that difficult as we used the tractor!!

Some of findings!!

Strange shaped potato.

We ended up with seven bushel out of five rows.  This will take care of our family throughout the winter. 

Pray for our President and this country.  We, as a country, are in such an economic and moral decline, that I wonder if the Lord allows this earth to stand, what will our children have to endure.
