Memorial Day- We pause and honor those who gave everything for the sake of others.

Praise the Lord for the slow and steady rain He sent us.

I don’t remember a spring in my life that was this dry. Ponds and creeks farmers in our county use for irrigation are drying up.😢

We have been watering the trees we planted earlier this spring every week, trying to keep them alive.

There’s finally a chance of rain the next few days.

I believe in the power of prayer.
I also believe we should be specific as we pray. If you want to join me in praying for a slow, steady rain, no hail, and for least 2 inches.

Here a few pictures I took this week.

Apples are growing, we definitely could use some rain. Praying that if we do get some next week it will be slow and steady.

Have a good weekend y’all!

I almost missed it being National Apple Pie Day!!

Tell me do you prefer your apple pie plain or with ice cream!!

We are thinning apples so that the ones we leave will have more space to grow.

We found this sweet nest in the trees today.🪺💛

Happy Saturday Morning Everyone!

It’s a beautiful crisp morning, hope y’all get out and enjoy it.☀️

So grateful for the rain we had this week.🙏🏻🙌🏻☔️

Apples are growing and we are staying busy.

Today I’m putting out w**d killer so I thought I’d do a what’s in Stephanie’s pockets edition…
Sunscreen
Pocket knife
Fingernail clippers
Chapstick
Earbuds
Water bottle

Since I’m on an open tractor today I have my bandana on my hat for extra sun protection on my face.

Ok about to turn up my praise music and get to work!

Happy Saturday!
