Don't worry I'm still here, We have been so busy and I have not really had a chance to sit down and enter a blog post, but I managed to get a moment to get it in here right now.
Between the garden, yard work, house work, and kids. Its hard to get any time to do much and by the time night time rolls around I and just ready to get to bed and go to sleep. Its days like these that make winter days kinda nice to face. (If I never told you yet, I HATE winter. I don't like the cold, or the snow) But I must say I LOVE the HOT sun, I love the feel of hot sand between my toes.
So the kids and I (hubby has been to busy at work to join us :( have enjoyed a few days at the local Pierce lake ( sandy beach) and just a few days ago the kids and I returned from a trip to visit grandma and grandpa(Eric's mom and step dad) they live in Quill lake SK ( southern Saskatchewan). though it was a very long drive (1500km there and back with a bit of driving while there) The kids and I had a blast, we enjoy visiting them when we can, and I love seeing the kids love on their grandparents. they are not hard kids to please and to see them just happy to color with grandma was priceless. I know grandma enjoyed it too. ;)
So when we returned on Monday, the garden was screaming at me for attention which was my plan for the following day, and that night we were hit with a nasty storm that knocked the power out of the whole area for 19ish hrs. NOT FUN. just so everyone understands we rely on power not just for lights, refrigerator , freezers, etc. we also need it for water, due to having a well with a pump that also needs power to work.
After I was able to get the generator going to power the freezer and fridge I was then able to get into the garden, seeing the little green tomatoes on the plants I started myself from seed was enough to put a huge smile on my face, it feels good to know I can grow a garden to feed my family ALL NATURAL ORGANIC veggies. I know what has been done to the stuff that comes out of that garden, the only thing that has been done to make this garden grow has been nothing but 100% water and my sweat from ridding the weeds the old fashioned way of pulling.
The more I read into it makes me want to aim for some year for all the food we consume to be all organic, I believe the food we eat with all the preservatives, sprays and fertilizers etc. are contributing to the high number of people having cancer. I was talking about this with mom before she died and she was the one who told me that, I have been reading in to it more.
I feel if i can feed my family a healthy choice of organic grown food I can feel good about the fact that I can protect them from the chance of getting cancer. I wont be able to protect them 100% but I can a bit. and that makes me feel good.
Well that's all for today, its kinda wet outside from yesterdays rain so today is a cleaning/laundry day.
have a great day everyone.
