The past couple of weeks we have been at peak production with tomatoes, beans and corn! We are lovin’ the tomatoes while splurging on them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I think I might need to learn some new skills because it is totally unfair that all the responsibility for repairs falls on him….. I am simply thankful that our tractor works, our health seems good […]
