With this excruciating drought, we are experiencing now and several commercial farms being sold because of bankruptcy, my wife has planted just some crops for the table. Water is a scarce commodity too, so we scrape by on meager means. Like using dishwashing water and whatever other clean water we can collect. We have both kind of given up on having a harvest. Fortunately, we have had a very few millimeters of rain on and off for the past few weeks.
Can you imagine my surprise and joy when she came in from the garden with 4 heads of corn, or as we call it in South-Africa, (Mealies) She steamed them in their inner leaves and we ate them and what a blessed feast we had. I cannot remember when I had felt more humbled by a meal before. The great provider of joy had treated me to a wonderful feast when we had no hope of salvaging anything at all.
I simply had to share my great joy with my extended family, the Virily writers. PS If you find it in your hearts to pray for my country in the presence of your own hardship, I would greatly appreciate it. Bless you, everyone.

It is a great joy to harvest something from your own garden. It wouldn’t matter how little or how big but the fact that it provided something to eat, that’s great.
So happy you got this fresh corn and I will keep you all in my thoughts.
Good post. Thanks for sharing
Thank you that’s so nice to hear. 🙂
Yes i have noticed certain changes in weather here
Can you still do gardening with the weather changes?
That is wonderful I am glad you got four corn. Homegrown corn is always the best. I will put in a prayer that the drought goes and the rain comes
Thank you, my dear friend, it’s heartwarming to hear. As are you in my prayers also Sandra. 🙂
