Fall has fallen

Last weekend we began to get the garden cleaned up and the rest of the veggies out to prepare for spring. Manuer and compost to be applied before the end of October. Then bring on the seed catalogs. I got a line on some chickens and a new chicken coop and am looking forward to having chickens again hopefully we can keep young Gunner away from them this time. Our last batch of chicks did not survive our new spinger spaniel a year ago.

Wow what a year this has been. I forgot I even had a blog going. Zach had open heart surgery on April 15 it has been almost 6 months since then. He is recovering well and we are all finally as a family settling down into our routine and recovered as well from the shock and stress of it all. I am due to have blessing number 10 in February which is the same time I would have had the last one had I not misscarried. Although I would rather have bee having a baby last winter instead of open heart surgery for Zach.
So now we look on to the future and what God might have for our family. At the end of the summer I sold some of my veggies from the garden at the Battle Ground Farmers Market to earn a little extra money and learned about CSA gardens and decided to start one my self with my families help of course. I usually grow a big one anyway and I have had an overwhelming response I am excited to get started. Zach has three houses he is building in Longview and does not know what direction he wants to go with his work but he'll work it out.
I am looking forward to a new year and the strength to get through whatever God has in store for us.
