On this episode, we are storm prepping for Hurricane Francine!!  I hope you are encouraged from this episode and are inspired to get the garden squared away and then to just hunker down with your family and cook a good pot of gumbo.  We want to be prepared for whatever may come, but we want to also remember the bigger picture here.  I hope this episode shifts your perspective on that a bit!!
