It's Been a Great Summer!

This sure has been one wild summer...where the weather is concerned. Very dry and very hot about sums it all up! I can't remember ever being soooo hot for soooo long! It just never let up. We suffered and so did the vegetables. Alot of crops took a real beating when it came to production and quality. Strawberries didn't put on very good, tomatoes wouldn't set fruit past 90 degrees, peppers lost their blooms, corn shriveled up , cabbages and cold crops bolted in the extreme temp., cucumbers turned bitter and melons were eaten by the deer. But the Lord was still faithful and prospered other crops to make up the losses.
It was our first year without our oldest children farming with us and proved challenging making all the adjustments. The Lord blessed us with our daughter-in-law continuing to stay with us and we wonder what we would do without her!??? Maybe you'll see more of her next year at markets?????
