Be Inspired



OK, the hand washing of clothes is a little much... so are the hand powered appliances. I am not so sure I could go that far (although I did grow up watching/helping my grandmother hand wash their clothes). But think of all the money saved! I suppose when I have my little army of children it wouldn't be so bad. I already hang dry my clothes. I would love for all of our produce come from our own yard. However, I do enjoy the convenience of having certain fruits out of season. I can't wait to get my garden going next spring. I just wish we didn't have the HOA telling us what to do with our yard and not allowing us to be self sustaining!

Just Peachy!

Our lovely peach tree is bearing delicious fruit! The tree is covered in ripe peaches. They are perfectly soft and sweet. I picked these peaches off of the tree and left plenty more to finish riping up. The only problem is that some of the branches got too heavy with the weight of the peaches and are hanging very low. One even broke and is hanging over the other side of the fence (not sure how good the photo is):
I'm going to be canning some of these (i think), but I will definately be making some fruit crisps and cobblers. mmmm. I have some strawberries and blueberries that need to be used up soon, so I think I will even throw those in the mix!
