Excerts from a Journal Junkie

from the homesteader's journal . . . 

  Finally got the septic cap made for the distribution connection

from the garden journal . . .

  picked a handful of strawberries, a basket full of peas, a bit of swiss chard, two green peppers, and a ton of lettuce.  Runner beans are doing well also.   Cut more Lemon Balm for drying too.

from the crafting journal . . .
  still working on one last hope chest blanket, starting to crochet hand towels.

from the gratitude journal . . .
