I finally stopped picking them up. There is an over abundance of them this year. But it does not look like we will be getting many pecan this year. The squirrels have taken them all. We are still getting tomatoes but there is frost expected Sunday night. We also got a lot of green peppers. I have froze 5 quart bags and still have a crisper full. Our tomatoes have taken a second growth also. We picked all of them to.
Our salad patch is coming along really good. We have cooked to messes out of it so far and also we picked a mess for the Farmers parents.
Our collards are coming along real well also. I can not wait to eat one of them.
My cotton has grown a lot also. I am waiting for the leaves to die off to harvest it.
I am discouraged with myself. I have not lost any weight in months. I am feeling burned out on exercise. I saw a video the other day that asked how bad do you really want to lose weight? Are you really trying to stick to the meal plan or are you having extra snacks or extra calories and trying to exercise them off? I know I sound like I am having a pity party. I know I have not been following a meal plan to the tee. I say I am going to do better on Monday and it never happens or I will do good all day. Then on Tuesday I eat bad. I know that many women fall in this same trap. I have read weight loss devotions for over a year. I have tried to turn to God and surrender to God to get help I want to get closer to God and to understand the bible. Most of the time I just feel so lost and desperate. I don't always feel like I have the connection with God like others say they do. I want to feel him talking to me and pulling closer to him. I read blogs and follow people on social media that feel the pull of the Holy spirit and God telling or pulling them to do something. But you know what I don't know anyone personally that is always feeling God. Oh well I will never give up I trust that God will take care of me. I will always be his child that is washed by his Grace! Thank you God for your Grace and teaching me to be humble. God has got this!
Well thanks for stopping by.
Hey, dear Vicki! I love you so much! I hear you in your struggles. I have been very tired and worn down from my change in work and from driving so much. It has affected me getting to my bible meetings, which I do not like. I have to get a grip on myself and at least focus on reading my bible at home. That helps so much when I do that. As far as weight and eating healthy, I don't have a weight problem per se, but oh my goodness, I have really had way too many sweets, sitting at my desk at work, so tired, and I just eat junk. And then I feel bad. It's a constant struggle. I am going to have to change something about this work situation. You are doing a great job!! You are a good mama and a good cousin and a very good lady!

Love you sweet cousin!
DeleteOkay, Miss Vicki, I agree with everything that lady up there said. :) I can't believe all the persimmons you have picked up and frozen. That has to be a lot of work. I still have two bags that I got from you last year. Vicki, I made a persimmon pudding a few weeks ago and honest to goodness, it was perfect! Just like mama used to make. I was so proud of that thing. I thought about making another one today, but never did. Sure wish we lived closed, I would buy some more bags. You put them up so neat and clean looking. Persimmons are messy. I don't know how you do it. It's bedtime. I love you! I love your little cotton patch.
