Pilgrims and Pioneers: Mother Nature was Naughty!

Welcome To Pilgrims and Pioneers!

After many years of researching my family geneaology I have been lucky enough to discover actual information about my relatives that lived in the Pilgrim Era and the Pioneer Era- while many people also have realtives from those eras- many do not know their names or where they lived- actually seeing the proof in print makes you much more aware of who they really were.
After discovering these relatives it of course made me curious to learn more about the eras that they lived in and what their lives were like as, the history I learned in grade school had long since been forgotten.
I decided to start this blog for others who are also interested in these eras.
Some of the information here will be actual facts about my realtives and some will be information about the eras in general that I have found on the web.
I hope you will enjoy traveling back in time with me!

Mother Nature was Naughty!

Yesterday the garden was looking so good!
I picked a lot of green beans and was happy the potatoes and cantaloupe were doing so well and then......
a storm with high winds came through this morning and this is what it looked like at 7 AM

The tomatoes cages were bent over laying the plants on the ground and both the sweet corn and Indian corn was laid flat along with some bell peppers and green beans.
So we drove fence post through the tomato cages and into the rows of corn and I tied everything back up- it was lucky than no plants broke off.
I am actually amazed since we garden chemicaal free that the plants have gotten so big!
