Suzie ...Homemaker

So, those of you who know me pretty well, especially when I was in college, know that I was born to serve one purpose in my life. No Kelly, it was not to be the most inappropriate person ever. I am a born and bread homemaker. This is most likely due in large part to the fact that my homemaker grandmother practically raised me throughout my entire childhood, and would I let her, continue to do so to this day. However, the time has come for me to step out on my own two Suzie Homemaker shoes. I described in my last post our grand undertaking of building and planting our own food production source (i.e., the massive garden in our backyard). For this post, I've decided to include pictures of everything that we have planted (and is now growing!) as well as the project that I finished this morning. Enjoy!
