She continued: “This morning though…I strapped the babe to my back, set myself a timer (because it’s helpful for me to have a goal & not to just stay out there forever when I want to but have other things to get done) & with a podcast going from my phone in my pocket, I was able to harvest some okra & tomatoes before the thunderstorm came.”
With the help of her sons –Israel David, 8, Samuel Scott, 6,and 12-month-old Frederick Michael— she also got the chance to try a new snack.
“The boys brought in quite a cucumber haul after getting home from a recent trip & I tried my hand at some homemade refrigerator/freezer pickles which turned out amazing!!” she explained. “Now I’m looking forward to doing more of the same + prepping and putting more squash and zucchini in the freezer for all the delicious things later in the fall & winter too! 😋”
