The Rest of September

Once again I am behind on blog posts, and with something happening every weekend, that means really behind. So I am going to squish most of the rest of events from September into this post, and hurry up and post the rest soon!

Back in the middle of September, I (Christianna) had the wonderful opportunity of spending a week up at the tip of the Thumb with my Aunt Carmen and Uncle Tim, helping out at a Missionary retreat. It was a very full, thought provoking, gorgeous, encouraging, stunning, and challenging week. I was very privileged to witness some amazing parts of God's creation (including the rising and setting of the sun over Lake Huron) as well as do my best to be a blessing to the missionaries there, and in turn was very blessed by them!

I arrived back home on Friday, and Saturday morning I was back in the car, this time with Dad, Josiah, and a friend to travel up west of Grayling to visit a Farm open house that Josiah and his friend were interested in.

Back home, the garden was extremely successful and just a little overwhelming! Take a look at this Zucchini. Josiah think it looks like the Lochness monster, while most everyone else thought it resembled a very muscular arm. ;)

Bushels of Tomatoes had taken residence on our front porch, and it seemed that no matter how many we processed, there were always more to take their place. Not that I'm complaining! Quite the opposite, we are very grateful for the invasion of the vegetables.

Josiah's room, is many things. Museum, red worm residence, abode of Charity's new meal worms, Germination station in the spring, and now a dehydration station, for all our herbs, mints, beans etc...
