The Blueberry Orchard


One of the things that drew us to this land last fall was the blueberry orchard. It is so beautiful in every season, all the trees perfectly aligned in rows. We have over 100 trees and they are all dripping with round blue berries!



Billy and I have prayed to make money as a family laboring on our land and this weekend we will be the blueberry vendor at the Marksville Farmers Market!



I feel so blessed and so excited!!



All of the other produce is growing so well! For the most part it was all grown with total organic practices! Although I truly have SO much to learn, and those Louisiana bugs are KILLING ME!!!

Homemade Wrinkle Releaser




Here is a GREAT recipe for homemade wrinkle releaser!

Seeing as I hate to iron and I love Downy's wrinkle releaser, but it is too expensive for my blood, I have been using this equal substitute (in my opinion).

2 caps full of fabric softener (I often get this free through coupons & sales at Kroger)

&
fill the remainder of the Downy Wrinkle Releaser Bottle full of water and shake

Spray away!!

If I can get the fabric softener for under $1, then each bottle of wrinkle releaser now costs me $.0625!!!
