The Frugal Farm Living life deliberately

We've been abundantly blessed. On Monday we picked nearly 4 bushel of peaches off our 2 peach trees. That translated to 35 quart jars and 27 quart freezer bags, plus as many as we can eat. Last night we picked a half-bushel of crabapples for jelly and left some for the birds. I also picked another another half-gallon of blackberries and more than a half-gallon of green beans to add to the 1 1/2 gallons in the fridge waiting to be canned. We've eaten corn from the garden, I made pickles this morning and have enough cukes to still make relish (and probably more pickles), and the squash plants are still producing, too. The tomatoes will be ripe before I'm ready as well, I'm sure.  read more »

I realized that last week I passed the 2-year anniversary of the beginning of The Frugal Farm blog. It's amazing how time flies!

I'm also already 17 1/2 weeks pregnant, how's that for fast?

I've never seen this much snow at Craters of the Moon National Monument--it was so beautiful. And a bonus--the roads were great despite the snow.

What can I say? Frugalmom inspires me. She's been blogging for a while and I really enjoy reading what she writes. I also really enjoy discussing frugality, finances, and philosophy, so I decided to blog a bit myself. Hopefully it becomes a collection of good, interesting thoughts.

If you read something that doesn't sound exactly like I wrote it, I probably didn't. Frugaldad has been helping set this site up and he really enjoys playing around and uploading pictures and such. So a lot of the menu items and picture descriptions are his words, not mine. They aren't always exactly as I would have written them, but I appreciate his help tremendously. I don't re-write, just like I have learned to not re-load when he loads the dishwasher. Different isn't necessarily better or worse.
