Jess, I was just making my Beulah coffee as I was watching you make your coffee 😂. Thank you for all your words of encouragement and the transparency you bring to us. So strange and beautiful to have such a good friend I have never met. I’m praying God blesses you and your precious family this Christmas season and for all the times to come!

I was raised as a Christian in non denominational protestant churches wherever my father got stationed in the military, here and abroad. But I don't see the acceptance and love in the new wave of churches preaching some strange things - some actually not teaching the words of Jesus but instead racism, disrespect for fellow man. I stopped going to a building called church and now foster my relationship with my Creator in nature and in the garden. I'm happy to say you and your family live the teachings of Jesus. And Jess, you have a lovely man. I'm so happy for your sons seeing a great example of husband and father. Also they learn that women are to be respected - they are life bearers and hold wisdom that is equally as important and relevant as the male models in their lives. You both have done well! Blessings on you and your endeavors! Gonna order some Beulah's now!

The coffee tastes even better when you first pour the hot water overJUST the filter and get rid of the glues in the filter paper as much as you can. When it is all finished dripping, discard the water and glue residues. Move the wet filter and holder to the coffee cup you'll be drinking out of THEN and only then add the coffee grounds. Moisten them slightly so they adhere to the base and then pour in the rest of the hot water to begin the drip process.

Ordering more dear friend.....it's your fault were hooked❤ I love to see how intrigued, and helpful your boys are with garden especially Ben. He listens, and has a complete conversation with you always. Yum cauliflower! Does the purple cauliflower have the same taste, and texture as the white cauliflower. I've never tried it. I did order seeds from Baker Creek to try. The treehouse/fort has really turned out amazing. I know your little men are going to just love it. Heck, I'm sure adults will love it as well. Excellent job on building this treehouse/fort for your little men Sweet Miah. My family wish your family a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year🌲

with the purple cauliflowers - "How do you do that???" Well, it's not just strength and determination, Ben - when you grow up you're a bigger person so you have longer arms and stand taller above the cauliflower when you bend down to twist it. That gives you more of something called leverage, which "makes" you stronger than if you were a person who has the same strength in a smaller body, and you get to learn all about leverage in Science, using Math! It helps describe how and why the world around us works the way it does! Including in the garden and the kitchen and even at the dinner table.♥ It's helping your dad with pretty much everything he's doing in the treehouse right now, in a bunch of different ways.
