Talk about treasure in your own backyard, today we dug for sweet potatoes and were blessed with 6 bushels! Since it was late, we closed them into the barn for overnight. Tomorrow we will be getting them out, cleaning them, sorting them, and probably canning the ones that are damaged. We dug some by hand, then used the potato digger on the tractor when we found out the pitch fork was causing just as much damage. Picking them all up by hand can make one tired and cranky at the end of a day. Tomorrow we will take the sweet potato vines to the cows, as they love them.
After picking them up, we let our dogs do the gleaning. . .They seem to love raw sweet potatoes.
This morning we visited The Point Church in Holly Springs. What a wonderful service and music that spoke to our souls. Thanks goes out to our good friend Gary, and prayers for Gwen's brother and Gwen for safe travels. God is good.
