Journey of Life: Garden goodness

Drought. We are in a bad drought where we live. Supposedly, #3 of all times. We have been very fortunate though. We have rural water for the house, but the well is still functioning. We spent so much time watering this summer and weeding and nurturing our garden. We live off of our garden - through canning and processing all the produce. We definitely enjoy it fresh as well! Below are some pictures of what we have picked and a list of our processing so far.

By no means am I bragging....I want to document the bountiful blessings that we have been given this summer....as a reminder when things get tough of the way that God has provided. Even though the drought hasn't greatly affected our garden, our family has definitely been in a drought spiritually and emotionally. We have been going through a few tough months. This provision that God has provided for us physically is a good reminder of what He can do spiritually and emotionally. To God be the glory in this time of drought.
