Goodbye Cold, Hello Summer!

The calendar's flipped from May to June and we are in full swing summer weather!! Just like that, Mama Nature decided she'd give us a break on the cold crappy weather. And with that, came the full on push to get the homestead ready for this years canning and medicinal foraging. I've been working a lot, basically everyday between foraging, drying, processing the goodies found. Making lists of what I still need for the Fall/Winter, projects I want to start, stock piling things (because, let's face it, the news isn't good and self sustaining maybe the safer bet).

Somewhere along the line- everyone has decided they want to spend money on photography again- so I've been booking sessions left and right!! This month is full and we've only just begun, July is half full, and August is a work in progress! If I'm not outside foraging and gardening- I'm going to be hiding behind my camera or in my office doing editing!

Here's a little recap of the road so far as the "Body Farm"/ Big Garden looks now! We finally got what survived of the basement babies in the ground yesterday before the rains came for the evening- giving everything a good soaking. Plans are to see how many of the from seed babies take and probably hit the local nurseries for summer clearance veggies. Fingers crossed with will be canning/baking/Freezing lots for the winter later this season!
