*Update on Business and a hospitalization*
Once upon a time, not very long ago, I was foraging the first plants of spring, planning out the 2026 workshops, gearing up for a return to the Corydon Farmer’s Market, and envisioning my whole year.
And then I found out I was expecting! With previous diagnosis’ of hyperemesis gravidarum (very severe morning sickness) I knew this was going to change my year.
I never harvested more than 3 spring plants.
I have had to cancel 6 workshops.
I haven’t been at the Corydon Farmer’s Market.
I haven’t baked one loaf of bread since Easter week.
Fermentation is at a standstill.
And yet instead of panic there is a certain stillness that surrounds me.
A knowing that there is a purpose to this pause and a plan. Both the purpose and plan are unknown to me just yet.
But everything is always working out for me and this works in my favor too. I just don’t know how yet - but it will come. I’m certain of it.
On Friday I went to the ER with right sided abdominal pain after nine hours of trying to convince myself it was probably nothing to worry about it.
On Saturday morning I was in surgery for acute appendicitis and an appendectomy.
On Monday evening I was discharged with weight restrictions for 4 weeks. Basically all of June. Weight restrictions that make it impossible to run my business at the quantity I do.
So May and June pass by with a stillness and a silence from the outside world that isn’t the usual of my life. But everything is always working out for me and this too serves a purpose I just don’t know yet but I rest in the certainty of it.
So - I won’t say I’m sorry I’m unavailable to bring you the bread, treats, and ferments you have come to love. I AM sorry not to see all my followers and customers. I MISS being at the farmers market. God in His great design is working something out for my good and I need to only rest and wait to see the fulfillment of his plans for me, my family, and this business.
I hope when I’m back to 100% I’m still met with the support and love that I received this far in our journey. I hope His peace and joy are with you this beautiful spring.
Support local producers, homesteaders, and farmers! Maybe I will see you in July!?
God is good - all the time!
