Gratitude for the Harvest

We decided to save money by spending no money in September and October and live off our harvest and food storage. It has been a fun challenge and we have learned new skills (like yogurt and cheese making with powdered milk). We have also learned where we could improve our food storage (like milk, eggs, meat) and we have recognized God's hand in our lives as he has poured out blessings through our garden and fruit trees.


This is our fridge after a month and a half of no shopping.
(The bottom half is full of carrots)
Doesn't look too scanty, though!
