Doing Chores For A Friend

At the time being we are doing chores up the road for a friend of ours. It consists of feeding 12 horses, 8 dogs and a quite a few cats. Joanna and I are the ones feeding them all, so between doing these chores + another neighbors chores + taking care of our own dogs here, we stay really busy in the mornings! She also boards dogs like we do, so I have been meeting people with their dogs here and there.

Feeding the dogs.

Feeding the horses.

Three little boys plotting some plan.  "hmm".. should we be scared!? :) haha

These are Joanna's favorite!

It may seem that all we do is feed animals, but we have lots of other things going on around here. We finally found a church for Jessica's wedding! We were having a hard time finding one there for a little while, cause we have to have one that will seat more then two hundred, and the ones that did seat that many they wouldn't let us have it unless we were members. But the Lord helped us and we found a really nice one in Willcox, 20 minutes from here. Second thing accomplished! :)

Inside The Greenhouse

Believe it or not, Sister Holly, but this post is mainly for you!! Mom told me how badly you wanted to see pictures of our greenhouse, so I gathered some together and posted them for you! :) All the last posts of our greenhouse got deleted, so it was something that did need to be posted again! 

This is Mom's prize green bean patch as she calls it. Long, slender, juicy, crunchy, sweet beans hang from its stems.

These are the strawberry vines that worked their way down through the cracks on the top floor, looking for fertile ground to inhabit.

Carrots and red beets.

Oak leaf lettuce.

Peppers and lemon mint.

The herb bed.

We have been enjoying fresh peppers,

greens,

carrots,

green beans,

lettuce, spinach,

and chives from the greenhouse.

Here is a pile of cherry tomatoes...

...and yummy cantalopes  from the outside garden.

Fresh vegetables are such a blessing!!!
