I'm back... at least I hope so

It's been a long time since I sat down to write.  I thought my summer funk was over, but then I realized today it has been more than a few weeks since my last post.  So I'm back and I hope it is for good this time. 

There hasn't been one specific reason that has kept me away, it just been a case of life with both ups and downs. 

My fellow farmwife and friend, Miss Leontien, was diagnosed with cancer again which is something no one should have to deal with once let alone more than once in a lifetime.

Today our church celebrated the life of our amazing priest who lost his battle with colon cancer last week. 

And My Aunt S who was diagnosed with leukemia this summer had a bone marrow transplant two weeks ago this Friday.  Although her recovery is going as planned, she has a long road ahead of her. 

So we've been distracting ourselves with several different activities. 

We've been busy with Big Sissy's fall soccer season

Bubby's first flag football season

Big Sissy's fall piano recital

trying out some new Pioneer Woman and Gooseberry Patch recipes

and the start of our family farm's harvest season.
