It has truly been a season of abundance — quite a bit of it unexpected — but we are so thankful for all that we have been able to accomplish.

I haven’t blogged about our life/farm in quite some time, but with all the changes and upcoming projects I think this is a nice time to share what we’re up to and the new dreams we have taking shape.

Celebrating Fall: Apple Spice Bread & Corn Necklaces

The first activity was baking a delicious apple spice bread.  Mmm…fall in a loaf.
