I know it probably looks like I live a very glamorous life. š¤£
Flowers, baskets, pretty little farm stand, making things, wandering around the gardenā¦
Complete and utter joke. š
The truth is, farming has humbled me more times than I can count this year. Iāve had some really big disappointments ā including watching my entire pumpkin crop get wiped out by squash bugs after all that work ā and plenty of days when things absolutely did not go the way I pictured them.
But there have been some pretty wonderful triumphs mixed in too.
Iāve grown things I wasnāt sure I could grow. Learned things I didnāt know how to do. Kept going when I was tired, discouraged, hot, dirty, covered in bug bites and questioning every decision that led me here. š
And through every bit of it, God has been merciful. He has provided, redirected, taught me, and given me strength when mine was running pretty low.
Farming is beautiful.
It is also weeds, bugs, failures, weather, sweat, disappointment, starting overā¦and occasionally standing in the garden wondering what on earth happened. š¤£
But I still love it.
Maybe even more because of all of that. š¤šš¤
