A few springs past...

Here are some pictures from a few springs back, Mama in the greenhouse

Hannah driving the team during spring plowing


Chickens are always hungry


A busy farm kitchen at high noon


Picking and grinning with friends under the maple tree



Washing hair in the creek, talk about running water!


Early crop planting- cabbage and brocoli.



We love our good ole' wringer washer!


What better way to end your day than with a farm fresh meal and a family prayer of thanks.

These pictures were taken by John Partipillo, thanks John!

Oh, thank you so much for sharing these precious photos with everyone. Your names have become like familiar family friends around here. I have four daughters and one son and we watch all your DVD's often and listen to your music CD every day!

My girls do so wish they could meet you all someday, as do I!

Thank you again for all that you do, providing a wonderful vision for Godly feminine ladies, young and old to look to.

Blessings,
Lisa

I LOVE all of the pictures and we have had such fun watching your DVDs. You are all such an inspiration. I was wondering if you have ever thought of hosting "how-to" sessions in person on your homestead? It looks like you gals have lots of free time on your hands:), but I think it could be a lot of fun for all and you could put us to work!

Ya'll are such an inspiration to our family! We bought your video set last year and set up a greenhouse this spring. We're growing our plants for the first time ever and are excited about our family garden. Thank you for instilling this desire to return to the basics in us!

Thanks ladies for such beautiful pictures! I love the Homestead Blessings DVDs and I have learned so much from them.
It would be nice if you could come to CA and speak to our homeschool group. That would be a blessing!
