I sometimes feel like Vinnie in the "Slap Chop" commercial, (minus the microphone-grin)

when I am explaining our lacto-fermenting probiotic jars. I know I am saying the same thing over and over, but what's neat is that it's new for each person I talk to. Some of them have never heard of the idea of fermented and probiotic foods. And that is cool! At one point today, there were 10+ people standing there listening to me. And I was hoping that I made sense, and that I wouldn't have one of my TN attacks in the middle of it.
I didn't have an attack during any of times I was talking to someone (I had one early while we were setting up-BOO!) The whole health thing is very confusing. Just like everyone, I have good days and bad days. The good days may have an attack or two, and the bad days are just bad. (Mainly it's the reason I haven't been blogging as I've been having more bad than good. Been to the doctor and had new and more meds added and that has messed my head up. But I've missed y'all!!)
Anyway, back to more important things...the market. It was nice to see all the vendors I knew. To be out in the morning cool (although it got HOT!). To be out among people. (something I miss since leaving work-although the homeschool fellowship group helps with that too) And my DH came along today. Things have been really slow with our homestead business (our main source of income since I became disabled with this nasty disease), so we are trying to drum up more business for him. He's branched out into making wood signs (hee hee...branched....nevermind). I'm so excited as we did get an order this morning for his business. Praise God!! It was an answer to prayer. We are also praying about another call I got yesterday of someone that may want 3 pieces of furniture. That would get us through the next two weeks! If you are inclined...would you pray for our business to pick up? God has had our business in His hand for the last 6 years and we know it is now too. But I know He is faithful to answer prayers.
"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16"
We've been working hard to get the garden in. It's at about 3/4 way done...except the corn patch. Alot of tomatoes are in, but we still have about 5 varieties to still plant (I'm out of tomato cages-ug). Part of the peppers are in, but the ones that I'm so excited about (Fooled You, Jalepenos-taste of jalepenos without the heat) are still too small and only 1/2 of them have their first set of "true" leaves. Beans are in, Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, Summer Squash, Beets are in. Boy tilled a new big patch for the corn this year. We are trying some neat new types. Popcorn that the kernals are blue and green!! And we have sweet corn to put in. We are planting the pumpkins out there, but haven't yet gotten the chickens reined in so they don't eat the seed as we are putting it in. That section is not yet fenced. So there is still work to do out there. We had a nice rain last night (first one in two weeks) so that should have helped the seedlings.
Well, again my intention is to check in more regularly. There might be some upcoming fun stuff here on the blog...giveaways and such! In the meantime, I thought you would enjoy a picture of one of our April born bunnies (about 8 weeks old now). They have been handled a lot and are really laid back....see.....
