     The intense summer heat has passed.  Tomatoes are lovingly processed in jars and carefully placed in the pantry, awaiting our future meals.  Beef and Pork are processed, and fill the freezer.  Attention is now turned to Fall growing.  
     With Spaghetti and other Squashes on ground level, Field corn and Sunflowers tower towards Heaven.  New Kale, Beet, Carrot, Lettuce and Swiss Chard crops are sown.  Compost, sand and mulch are shoveled through out the Garden to encourage explosive microbial growth, to allow Nature to create the ideal soil environment for plants.  

Study this life cycle chart.  It is similar to the process of God’s Creation.  
Did you ever read Virgil’s Poem about Georgics, where he warned his fellow Roman countrymen about the encroaching “free bread and circuses” mentality that was blinding their eyes to what was going on in their lifestyle and economy? 
People wanted an “easy” life of not working hard.  They moved away from their life-nurturing Farms into the cities.  Let someone else do the “dirt-y” work!   They moved their thinking into depending on someone else to provide for them. 

     In Spring, the Garden begins “soft” when the gentle weather gradually warms the soil, nudging the plants to excelerate their growth.  Gusty winds and loving Breezes kindly waken the dormant trees and resting bushes.  Spring continues, with BURSTING enthusiasm, renewing with Life, Hope, Joy and Love.  This is God’s glorious success!

Christmas Day with Our Darling Daughters-in-Law, Madison, Susie and Kara, mother of our two oldest Granddaughters Karlie and Abbie.  What a time to REJOICE!

Fall and winter gardening are amazing!  Fewer weeds, fewer pests.  Cool season crops come bounteously.  Kale is a popular favorite!

This summer, Tassy receives the first Casaba Melon ever grown on the Farm.  Weighs over 11 lbs. She is one who serves as God's hands.  As children of God, and having made solemn covenants with Him, we joyfully acknowledge and accept the Farm as His generous gift to organize, utilize and share.  We choose to be responsible and wise stewards of the land and the creations who reside here. Miracles appear 

      Many dear family members and friends joined to joyfully celebrate the marriage of Joshua and Madison.  The wedding was held in Provo, Utah, June 18, 2021, followed by a yummy luncheon, including tossed veggie salad from Meadow Valley Farm.

We believe we are children of Heavenly Parents, with a divine nature and eternal destiny.  With faith in Jesus Christ, we have a purposeful mission to be righteous, loving individuals and good parents to our 9 children and their children.  We choose to be wise stewards of the bounteous Farm for the best foods and vibrant health.  In these upstanding choices, the natural consequences allow us to experience freedom, peace, hope and joy.
