I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts. We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield. We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord. I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it. Isn't she just lovely?

I want to share with you about The Duke Family Farm. For those on Facebook you can find her page and browse. She has an amazing farm life that speaks for itself. She does a little bit of everything whether it's tending to the animals, making honey from her bees, canning, cooking, baking, gardening, and yep, I've even heard her sing a little......(now I am telling on her) LOL!
On her FB page she says;
Just a few highlights from the garden...
Homemade bread and honey...(honey from her bees) I know first hand that the bread is wonderful!
On her FB page she says;
We are Accidental Farmers ♥
Join us as we try our hand on our new homestead - Backyard gardening, Chickens,
Bee Keeping and Belted Galloway's and Home Cookin!
Well, she may have started out as an "accidental farmer" but needless to say she is a "pro" now.
Her Mission:
In your lives he will increase the things you do that have his approval. (2 Corinthians 9:10)
Her Mission:
We are
ordinary people with a passion to follow a path that God has placed in
front of us. We hope that as we open our hearts and minds and follow
his plan that his light will shine through us. We pray that our
experiences will encourage and inspire you to "plant a seed" and follow
your own evolving light with joy.
God gives seed to the farmer and food to those who need to eat. God will also give you seed and multiply it. In your lives he will increase the things you do that have his approval. (2 Corinthians 9:10)
Johnna and one of her many critters!

She could have her own farmers market and livestock show!
