It's the little things...

Yes I finally got something I've been waiting a long time to get!  When you live on a farm with only one person "working out" the money tends to be tight.  Add some growing children and the money gets tighter.  There always seems to be something that needs repair, something that needs to be done to the fields, something that needs to be purchased for the livestock and of course there is always something that needs to be purchased for the wee ones.  So with that momma doesn't always get what momma wants. 

When the kids went to check on the cows at pasture the other day (which is just outside the nearest "town") they came home with a surprise.  A dehydrator!!!

It's the little things right?  I was so excited.  I got a bucket of apples right away and started slicing.  It took awhile to dehydrate them but after filling up the dehydrator I had 4 lovely jars of dehydrated apples to eat.

They look so yummy.  I also had another use for my mason jars with the glass lids since I can't find any rubber bands for them.

And to top it off this week there was a lovely harvest moon shining down on us.  This is the view from my front porch.
