My SIL had to amputate a foot off one of their chooks. I can't imagine that it is warm enough to swim up there lol. Beautiful abundance of food there to enjoy. I love your sampler stitchery. Sorry I have been slow in blog land... life gets in the way.

It's lovely to have your harvest going on, and to think about you swimming in winter. Even in the desert, we couldn't do that in the middle of winter, without a heated pool. One of our favorite RV parks, after we retired and traveled around, did have a heated pool and there is nothing like a swim on a sunny day that isn't also baking hot. =) I'm looking forward to seeing what your 2020 reboot brings in July. Yes, I definitely need to do that, and the more I think about it, the more I know where to start.

I wouldn't have the first clue about taking care of a chicken, and honestly, I don't know what a "crop" is! I'm a dumb city-girl, I know. As nice as it would be to raise my own produce, that's just not possible where we live. In answer to your question, I know of one thing that is changing in my life, and I've taken it to the Lord. I need to know what to do about the disturbing feelings I have for what was once a happy activity. Makes me realize that life isn't about the same 'ole, same 'ole, stagnating in one place, but moving on. I think I'm feeling nudges toward a different creative path.

I was very curious that the beans and zucchini are slow where the pumpkins nevertheless grow strongly. Here, on the other side of the world, the same thing happened in my grandfather's garden: We had an abundance of potatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes, cucumbers and melons, but the beans never grew well. After many attempts, the bean terraces were replaced by peppers, and they grew well.Águedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714678030947878082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-43108380045902415122020-06-26T08:57:54.500+10:002020-06-26T08:57:54.500+10:00I only have cold showers, and swim all through win...I only have cold showers, and swim all through winter as well.
