Ok, how did you all do in the blog hop last week? I did terrible. I have to start a new routine for this and stick with it before I start gardening.

Speaking of gardening, I attended the MOSES conference over the weekend and shared a ride with a fellow classmate of our Stateline Farm Beginnings course with whom I am going to be working with this upcoming growing season. It was great to get to know her (Mrs. A.) better. During our CSA (Consumer Supported Agriculture) course this past winter, which Mrs. A. was also a fellow classmate, we talked and came to an agreement to work together this year so that I (my family too) could gain more production/growing/market experience. This transpired due to my husband and I not getting our business plan in on time (remember all those weeks of me saying I was working on it? well I didn’t get it done :-() and the CSA planning course left me feeling like we were not quite ready to offer our own CSA this year.

Anyhoo…this week I thought I would start the week with a thankful list because I came home from the MOSES conference rather thankful after we slid off the road due to it being a sheet of ice and having a relaxing time with our two older girls and baby. Then today I was discontent over a clogged toilet and messes. Soo I am thankful for…

1. For the Kind people who stopped on Saturday night to push us out of the ditch when we were stuck.
2. Indoor plumbing (even when it malfunctions ;-o ).
3. A roof over our heads.
4. Our health.
5. The Lord Jesus Christ who is ever patient and sticks with me even when I don’t stick with Him.

What are you thankful for this week?
