Our friend, Linda, who helped cook at our homestead seminars passed away recently and suddenly due to undiagnosed cancer. Her service brought tears to many of us who knew her and will certainly miss her every day.
But we go on, planting and believing in the hope of the future. Our hoop houses are bulging and so is the garden. I finally finished planting on the new pumpkin/corn patch yesterday. And already the pumpkins and squash are looking good out there. However, I will have to replant a couple varieties that I had old seed. It didn’t come up. Oh well, it happens.
This morning I got up at 6 AM to cows bawling and donkeys braying. Crystal, our donkey, as well as three calves were out. So I spent awhile herding livestock and enjoying the beautiful morning. There were even deer out browsing on the clover next to the woods. How pretty. Cows in, donkey in. So I came back to the house and made pancakes. I was hungry after playing cowboy! — Jackie
I am so very sorry for the loss of your friend.
I wish our stupid insurance companies would pay for the simple blood tests that can detect cancers. These should be included as part of everyone’s physicals So many people could have been saved if they only would. My sister included. Unfortunately our government wont make them.
Take care, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Just heard the sad news, Jackie. Linda was a great farming woman. I know you must all feel the pain of losing a friend. I so enjoyed the meals she cooked
at the two seminars I attended. If only the medical world could find a cure for cancer. Hope your faith brings you comfort and peace.
Oh no…Linda was such a sweet person…so very sorry
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Hugs to you both. The gardens are looking great!
I am very sorry to hear of your friend’s death. Your garden looks very nice!
I too am replanting somethings.
