Self sufficiency doesn't mean austerity

This is one of the posts I had ready to put on the blog before I left. 

I've realized that some people think that because we're self-sufficient in veggies we must have relinquished our entire back yard to vegetable patches.  How wrong.

We have all kinds of beautiful landscaping, with flowers and trees and bushes.  It really doesn't take that much land for two people to grow all of their own veggies. Here in the foreground you see the rangpur lime and our new fountain - which the birds love!
