Sorry I haven't wrote on here in awhile.  I have been busy with the fall harvest but more importantly I have been concerned about my dad.  He was diagnosed with terminal cancer a year ago and has been struggling with it these past few weeks.  He has recently been hospitalized and will most likely not come home.  It has been extremely hard for me since we have been so close my whole life.  When I moved onto my homestead it was only down the road from my childhood homestead so I have seen my parents at least 3 times a week.  This has been a hard struggle for the whole family and therefore I might not be on here as often as what I have been.
