2 weeks after canning “Mock Pineapple” from summer squash, I’m loving it with my morning breakfast! It pairs great with tofu cottage cheese or regular cottage cheese!

I’d definitely make it again!

Chucky, the Green Bean Bandit & His Pals

So you saw the other day where Chucky the green bean bandit was in action stealing the green beans right as I picked them!

What may not have been obvious to you is that Chucky are sweet little orange kitty cat, has been at this type of behavior for the last several years, really ever since he was born.

Chucky has always loved green beans, and here we have the photo evidence that he has even been training some apprentices in this behavior.

At first, I thought it was just an orange cat behavior, but then I noticed other cats participating in the Greene Bean theft, and I see that it must just be the cats love green beans

Enjoy this humorous, look at some of our green bean thieves in action, and know that if you have cats on your Homestead, this very well may happen to you!

Find someone who grows flowers…check! ✅

Find someone who grow flowers in the darkest part of you.! if you have someone like that, I think you know who it is! That person who has a way of looking on the bright side of things, and just making everything look a little bit more positive!

May we all find that person, and most of all… may we be that person to someone special in our own lives! 🌻

The good news is that well actual flowers can truly brighten someone’s day, you don’t even need to have real flowers in hand to be some sunshine in someone’s life!

But I truly hope you do grow real flowers, because they are so cheerful, and they can transform your attitude in a flash

Speaking of flowers, i’m headed out to the garden to gather some fresh flowers to brighten up our home. 🏡

💥 9/1/26 💥
💧 I shared this to my RHH story, but this is a rare sale on one of our favorite oils. Greg’s favorite, actually, because it works!

⛑️ We use it for first aid mostly, and I know it’s $$$. That’s why the BOGO is an excellent opportunity. Today only for the sale

💼 I’m not an affiliate, but I have a code that gets you 25% off your first order, and then I get credit towards oils. I *think* it should stack on the sale, but let me know if it does/does not.

💧 Rocky Mountain Oils are the ones we use almost exclusively. It’s not a MLM, the oils are great, and 3rd party tested and everything.

💥 Code in comments, and let me know if you’d like to know how we use this oil in our home and why it’s Greg’s favorite!
