Another picture post!

Hi folks! I'm back with another post of pictures. I haven't been having any writing inspirations lately, so hopefully you will enjoy the images of my day-to-day instead :-)

Watson Mill Bridge State Park. It's about 5 miles down the road from Jubilee's property so Nate and I visit on the weekends. Their claim to fame is this gorgeous old bridge spanning the river. In the summer you can swim here.


Nate digging up sweet potatoes.

There were some pretty big ones!

Sabrina taking a break to pose.

Another big one!

Rows and rows of sweet potatoes in our Jubilee garden.

The sweet potato dig happened all in one day and then we gathered for a feast after the work was done.

Sweet potato pies were not a shortage on our dinner table! And they were sooo good! Especially with the fresh cream Sabrina whipped.

A camping trip for the volunteer group. Our tent was even invited along :-)

On a hike





We camped at Montreat- a Presbyterian retreat center in the heart of the North Carolina mountains. The building you see is a Ten Thousand Villages store. I made the mistake of wearing my EMU sweatshirt into the store and was soon in conversation with one of the employees who was excited to hear I was from Lancaster County where their headquarters are.


Nate relaxing at one of our 2 campsites. We had a bit of rain.

The stone benches Sabrina created :-)

Pretty fall colors!


Sabrina spends a lot of work time in the clothing store at Jubilee. It's one of the projects she really enjoys too! The refugees are given $3.00 per person from Jubilee when they arrive here to use during their stay on clothing. All kids clothing is 15 cents each and adult jeans come in at most expensive at 25 cents a piece.


We even have a changing room so the refugees can get the right size! Many of them have no idea what size they are.


Our milk cows taking a break in the blueberry patch. Rhoda is on the left and Elsie is on the right.


Eggs in the chicken tractors.

Sabrina collects 30-50 a day! You can't tell in this photo, but the lighter ones range from light greens to teal blues.

Sabrina with her "loot".... it's kinda like trick-or-treating :-) 








Well, that's all for now! Enjoy your Sunday everyone!
