living on a dusty, dirt road

I love living in the country. It's peaceful.  I get to see wildlife, there's room for a garden and a small flock of chickens. Living on a dusty, dirt road, as rustic as that sounds, has had one slight drawback to my twenty-something lifestyle: no internet. My in-laws live down the road and have dial-up. (Yes, it does still exist.) For years, dial-up had been the only option for the internet. If we were desperate, my husband or I would drive ten minutes into town to use the computer at the library.
Fortunately, we stumbled upon the news that DSL now reached our dusty dirt road! Of course, only a few days into our new found internet-full life, I have been found to be less productive. Good thing I don't have a smartphone, I would get nothing done.
I have missed blogging and sharing what I've been up to. Not sure if you've missed me, but ready or not here I come!

Our Summer, has been eventful; we adopted a cat, Alfie, who we cuddle and spoil and our garden was a huge success! When people complained about the excessive rain washing out plants, I just bit my lip.

We were overloaded with green and yellow beans and sold them at the Farmer's Market and to our neighbors. I may or may not have over thirty pints of beans on my canning shelf in the basement...

 

 

Another hot ticket item is our winter squash. One reason we love it is because it keeps all Winter. We have a table in front of our house and have buttercup, butternut, delicata (my favorite), pie pumpkins, red kuri and acorn squash for sale.

Living on a dusty, dirt road isn't so bad. I just need to look at the blessings I already have and be thankful for them.
