Times are tough. I haven’t been writing in Crawford Acres because I’ve been busy writing in Kudzu Jungle. Work is so scarce that we only had enough money to cover the campground through July 6th. On July 7th, we don’t know where we’ll be.
It isn’t that I have given up on my little homestead, but I struggle to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I barely want to water the container garden any more because I don’t know if I’ll get to harvest them. Still, I would feel sorry for them if I let them die, so I’ll water them. If we have to leave, I can always give the plants to a fellow-camper that’s also gardening.
My husband and I have considered different options, but not sure what we’ll actually do when push comes to shove. We’ve talked about selling our camper. We’re getting rid of as much stuff as possible to lighten our load.
We have a 5th wheel camper with no way of moving it out of here, so if we leave, we have to reserve $50 for someone to tow it out of here and take it to a storage place. We can store it for $25 per month.
Anyway, I hang on to faith that God has a plan. He has to, because we sure don’t.
I don’t know how long it will take Kudzu Jungle to get going, but we are working as fast as we can on it. We are down to $2.11 in our checking account. Pitiful, yes. But we are determined to hang in there and walk in faith.
