Shucking Corn

Posted in Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #243 On Saturday, we picked up our Bountiful Baskets order which included a nice large box of corn.  We’ve enjoyed some of the fresh corn, but today, it was time to get it all shucked, boiled, and frozen to enjoy at a later date.  I had forgotten how much I really don’t care for shucking that many ears of corn at once.  There is a reason that we all had to do it as kids.  It’s because the adults didn’t really want to do it.  **wink**  It’s worth it though because we ended up with lots of…

Hopping Along

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Photography

Project 365 – #241 Isn’t that guy just too cute?  He (or maybe she?) was kind enough to hop out from the little cave to allow me to snap a few pictures before hopping back into the cooler shade that it afforded.  Since the other animals were not so inclined to help out, this critter was the only one that is being featured.  lol! Yesterday, I was once again reminded of how much I use the internet for research and preparation for our homeschool day.  After lunch, I went to get on the internet to try to do some prep…

An Afternoon Drive – Desert Style

Posted in Christian Life, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #240 When we head out into the desert, we always make sure we have plenty of water and some food.  In the hot summer months, we always make sure the air conditioning is working before we head out as the temps can be in the 110+ range.  It’s hard to imagine what the Israelites must have gone through while living in the desert for 40 years.  (Yes, it was a different desert landscape, but it makes me understand more of the hardships that they may have encountered living in a dry land.) They were disobedient/doubtful, yet, the Lord continued…

Desert Graffiti

Posted in Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #239 Today, we headed out to do a little exploring in the Picacho Peak area.  During our drive, we came across a large area covered by some unique desert graffiti.  (This picture is an extremely small sampling of the graffiti area.)  The great thing about this graffiti is that it doesn’t damage the area.  In fact, this display actually uses the natural surroundings to create the graffiti.  We had heard about this area (and D had seen it from the air), but we’d never been to the desert graffiti location.  It was fun seeing all the creative…

A Little Bit of Country…

Posted in Family, Military Life, and Photography

Project 365 – #237 While I grew up in the city, I’m definitely a country girl at heart.  I love being outdoors (well, when it’s not super hot or super cold), and I dream of having a nice piece of land on which to homestead.  I love exploring God’s creation and seeing His hands on everything around me.  Hiking, camping, biking, fishing…  Yep, I enjoy it.  I’m grateful that even though I grew up in the city I had the opportunity to develop a love of nature thanks to various trips with my family and youth group. Munchkin dreams of…
