In my front yard is an apple tree and a walnut tree.

In my back yard, are apples, apricots and strawberries. I planted grapes but a future generation will surely reap that harvest.

As my daughter Hannah examines the growing fruit, I examine the area where we will raise a few chickens.

Just a few. I want fresh eggs. Several people have said I will need to get a dog to protect the chickens but I am not signing up for all of that.

Work it out Lord. Lead me to the chicken coup of chicken coups.

Lol.

Anywho, watching all of this grow and my children being able to eat off our land is a beautiful thing.

More to come.
