In early February, we added a new member to the family...s/he is a beautiful Subaru Forester who we've decided to name 'Mafinga' (yes, we're VERY creative)! She's a blue beauty and has served us well thus far, ensuring that we're able to get our groceries and market produce when needed! Then...we finally installed our fireplace, which we were very happy to discover can also be used for cooking/heating food! And finally, our vegetable garden is BLOOMING! It has been amazing watching the dhania, lettuce and spinach grow from seedlings to full fledged plants/vegetables! It's true what they say that farming is a career that requires a lot of faith and patience because you never quite know if/when you'll see those little shoots or whether they'll survive the environmental conditions they're subjected to. We feel blessed...and excited about our forthcoming veggie lasagna with our very own homemade spinach! Enjoy the pictures...
