Tonight for FHE, we went to Laura Thompson's farm (A lady from our previous ward) and picked apples from her orchard. She has all that she can use and has pleaded for help to pick and distribute the rest. Our home schooling group all went to help out. We were all blessed with many apples to take home, and took the rest to The Boise Food Bank who gratefully recieved them.
Max was amazingly helpful. As long as he is included in the process, he is happy and even helpful.
Of course, (unlike what you see in this very innocent looking picture) he preferred throwing the apples into the box rather than laying them softly inside, so we may end up with a lot of applesauce!
Justin loved getting high into the trees on the ladder. He does everything just as he should, and is sure to correct us if we stray in the slightest from the strait and Narrow....for example...
Here we see Geoff, dangerously balancing on one foot on the top wrung of the ladder. Justin saw him, and immediately recited word for word the warnings labels he had previously read on the ladder.
Geoff smiled, and quickly stepped down a step. How do you argue with such a spirit of reason and obedience?
Geoff believes he could do this sort of thing everyday. We both dream of being able to be self sufficient and produce our own food with extra to give away. Her farm is beautiful and has such an inviting and homy feeling. Maybe someday, we'll be able to produce the same.

Jeff and I dream of the day we own a little plot of land to have our own orchard, huge garden, and room to run. Livin' off the land would be great!
