Sweet corn harvest has begun.  This is the season we work so hard to reach, so we are thankful that the crops are looking so well thus far.  This is also a very busy time as we harvest fresh corn and vegetables every day. 
Farmer Dean came in the other day asking the children and I if we wanted to see how the potatoes were doing.  Excitedly everyone said, "YES!!!".  So, we donned our hats, gloves and off to the potato patch we went.  Farmer Dean hooked the potato digger on to his tractor and began to unearth those lovely golden nuggets of yukon gold potatoes.  They were beautiful.  Even more beautiful was watching the children fill their bags of potatoes.  All the children, even Addie (the youngest), participated.  So, we bagged a couple hundred pounds of potatoes, brought some home and ate them for supper!

    Farm Wife, Ivellise

    City wife turned country girl, who could never keep a house plant alive, married to a farm boy turned accountant whose desire to work the land never left his heart.  When the opportunity to return to the farm arose, I thought to myself, "How will I ever grow vegetables?!"  Lots of prayer, the support of my parents, the help of my patient in-laws &  my Farmer husband and the grace of the Lord have taught me much about farming and growing.  It is a tremendous blessing! 
    I will post as often as I am able to keep you updated with life on our farm.
