Journal The Cabin

WE have a frost advisory for tonight.... My little garden is protected by where it sits.... but I am thinking I am going to start plucking things out of the garden tomorrow. I am sad to announce that my corn "miscarried" all it's potential babies. HAHAHA.

To me it looked like I was going to get three cobs of corn... but at this time of year and nothing showing for several weeks now.... I think it just wasn't meant to be. It was fun watching the stocks grow from little babies to hearty poles.
Obviously my attempt to self-pollinate did not work... and I won't bother for next year.

I threw in two potatoes that were sprouting at the end of June. I finally pulled those out 2 days ago and I found 5 potatoes.... You would have thought I found diamonds.... I was squealing with delight every time I found one. HA.
I suspect I might have missed some but I will pay the EARTH tax to the soil.

I learned a lot.... and that seems to be the thing with gardening.... every year you learn something about the plants.

I got tons of tomatoes... and in the morning... I will pick the last remaining ripe ones. I will slow roast the big ones... and do something different with the chocolate cherry ones.
bobinfaith ... My precious plant that I named BOB served me well with many little gems of goodness. Next year... I will name another chocolate cherry tomato plant after YOU. HAHA.

I was curious. Did you adopt the name BOB before the Garage and Cabin, or after?

I once had a retaining wall built for my wife that cost me $3300.00 so she could plant roses, flowers, etc...but she never did.

So when the American weeds grew and while I was pulling them I would shout out loud, HAZEL! 🤬!!!

She would look outside the window and smile at me but not knowing who I was directing her name to. lol!

Good morning Bob.... I tried to search the Cabin for the post where I told you that I was going to name one of my chocolate tomato plants after you but.... I could not find it.

I am working at the boutique today. I am hoping to spend some time at the Cabin on Saturday... getting it cleaned and decorated for the winter.

I apologize for the lull in activity... It's been a busy time for me.

Love you all.... Have a beautiful day.

I tried gardening one year and was quite surprised to discover my brown thumb.😁

I'm scheduled to spend Saturday cleaning out our shed. She's going to supervise - keep, throw away or donate years of stuff.

As I mentioned earlier we have a large container filled with Christmas houses that light up. We're going to contact some Church members who may want them for their new house, etc...

We have many haul away services that will take our throw away stuff and what we donate will most likely be with Salvation Army or Goodwill.

I don't consider this fun but it will be good to complete this project that has taken us almost 3 years.

God bless everyone.

Bob
 
Happy Sunday to my beautiful forum family:

I have come to truly appreciate the DAY of REST in a spiritual way... now that I am so busy and working.
Today certainly "feels" different then it did when I wasn't working.

So... I did not clean the CABIN yesterday because I was "off the wall" busy... and so... please forgive me.

My garden area is now just dirt. ALL my flower pots and the actual garden have been stripped. I kind of felt badly for plucking out some of the flower pots that were still colourful... however... because our weather is geared to be very cold by next week.... I just wanted to ensure that my tomatoes were all picked... and that my work was done before the frost.

It was a successful garden year for me. I am well pleased with the bounty I received. Next year I will change out some of the vegetables with other things.

Anyways... once again... this is short and sweet. After next week... I am off for two weeks... so... my brain will be on slower mode.

I love you all.... ~Da oh so busy SHEEP
 
Good morning my beautiful and precious forum family....

Well... It's been a month.... a world wind kind of month that I have not ever experienced.
The changes that I have undergone have been OFF the CHARTS!!! ( literally ).
I have not had time to process any of it... because my brain has been on full-on learning mode.

I have spent about 100 hours... volunteering my time... so that I would be able to learn without the
pressure of "having to perform". As a result of this... I was able to freely ( without worry ) give of my
time and what occurred was AMAZING.

God in His GOODNESS did so many things during this time... but the most important thing was that
He brought two of his children together for the purpose of "walking along side of" the other. My boss
has been going it alone for a great long time... and she was thirsting for true Christian sisterhood.
The funny thing about this... is that she probably knew something was missing from her life... but...
I did NOT.

What has transpired in this last month was a HEAVENLY BONDING of two spirits. I am not completely certain
of everything this means... but I have felt the sweetness of having a FACE to FACE relationship with another Christian sister in a way that I have never felt. WE are equally yoked and when I say this... I mean we both have deep faith and we speak the same language which is such a treat... to not have to be CAREFUL with my words so as not to offend someone who is NOT a believer.

I have felt the LAVISH love of GOD. This woman has lavished me with kindness... genuine caring.. and an abundance of simple SWEET time spent together. I am in AWE of HOW much GOD loves us.

Anyways... I have two weeks off now... My boss is leaving for the East Coast and so... It is now time for me to reflect and process.

I feel badly that I have neglected the Cabin. It seems that several of us are either out of "material" to make the light-hearted" atmosphere here... or we are simply tired and or busy. In all reality... this "journal idea" has taken on a life of it's own... but behind all of that.... has been a responsibility to keep things going. This is year #2 of continuous entries.
I am thinking and will pray about IF I will continue with a Cabin 2.0 for 2026. I am personally sensing that things are coming to an end... and that is NOT necessarily a sad or bad thing as the sky is the limit with encouragement.

I have come to love you all so deeply... and I am grateful for each one of you.

Thank you for all the love... and contributions these last two years. Oh my goodness... WHAT a glorious journey this has been... and we still have two months to go.

This week-end is the Canadian Thanksgiving. I am having a friend over for supper tomorrow... and then on Monday... I am making and serving my meal to the Fire Department. It's going to be a busy next 72 hours.

God bless everyone.... and may the PEACE and JOY of the Lord... live in all your hearts to GLOW and GROW.
