Today my family had the very fortunate opportunity to spend the day with @papa-pepper @mama-pepper and the @little-peppers . What a great day it was. @essentialoilmom and I invited them over to hang out and have a meal together. What I was not expecting was for him to show up with fruit trees for our property.
Yall we were so blessed by him and his family. We had such a wonderful time hanging with them and getting to know each other. It's truly amazing how steemit is being used to bring people together.
We grilled chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs, we had fruit salad and baked beans. It was a fantastic meal with a keto cheesecake and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Afterwards our kids had water balloon fights. We sat outside in the shade of our 1 small maple tree and just talked about our lives, where we've been, what we believe, where we are going in the future.
It is always good to welcome new guest at home.
It is always good to be a welcomed new guest in a home too!
We had such a wonderful time at your place, and would love to hang out again. I sense a lifelong friendship here @dwells.
Thanks for your hospitality and your help with the contest! I'm posting on it right now.
Thank you for coming over @papa-pepper. I had such a great time talking with you and your wife, and your children are such little sweethearts. Eli had so much fun with them, and he was plum wore out. He slept in 2 hours later than usual today.
I look forward to come over to y'all's place once you get your house built. Let me know if there is anything we can do to help y'all.
Thank you! We were so blessed!
good friends visit each other no minding the distance. That background would fit for a green day capture.
Sometimes I wish I lived somewhere more central like...umm...America? Sorry, I do not want to seem sarcastic. I actually mean it. I live in South Africa, and as much as I seriously love my country, our exchange rate is not conducive for worldwide travel! Top marks about the green day capture. I can't agree more.
Hmm. Well maybe central america isnt bad anyways. Do not worry, Africa shall be great. #Fromawestafricanbrother #
I do love Africa. Where are you from, brother?
Nigeria
Looks like the next gathering should also include Zac over at @mericanhomestead
I think @dwells, and @mericanhomestead will for sure be getting together with @papa-pepper. I think however that papa should bring along @bluerthangreen and his clan.
Oh, that would be so fun. I'm sure @dwells is already working on that. 🙂
Yes, the whole pepper family. Genuine!!
Cheers to friendships and what more awesome gift than fruit trees!
Yes, the fruit trees are an awesome gift! We just moved on to our property and have been talking about getting some. Were shocked but very blessed and excited! Im excited to plant them!
And soon they'll be giving you yummy gifts! Happy for you too! Following now!
We can't wait! I had just told @dwells a few days ago that we needed to get some fruit trees. I really want peaches. I love to can them. And then this happens. So grateful. I can't decide if I'm excited for the strawberry's, plums, figs or witch hazel. We use witch hazel alot in the summer with our bug spray
@mama-pepper @papa-pepper and little-peppers always together ^_^

Looks like a great time and I bet the kids had a blast too! It's really nice when people can collaborate and build networks of like minded people! Great post @dwells and @papa-pepper
It was a great time. Our son for sure had a blast. He is always up by 7 and he actually slept an extra 2 hours today! 😊
haha, good times
Wow... cool.. @papa-pepper on the go!!! Love it man!!! I really really love it... bonding friendship... 😇😀😇
That's one of the things I like about Steemit - it really does bring people together.
Looks like u had lots of fun. Thank you for sharing :)
Very cool. Its nice to live close enough for a visit.
hi y'all! @dwells, is that a fig tree? @papa-pepper, if it is, what is your best advice on rooting from cuttings? i currenty put ten cuttings directly in soil mixture (with mushroom compost).
i've also tried cutting them into pieces big enough to fit angularly inside a gallon bag with some water, string tied, while leaving a little bit of unzipped bad at the top for air. any thoughts you can share? thanks! upvoting and following...be blessed :)
@benzomatic fortunately for you we don't know a thing about fig trees either so I recorded @papa-pepper telling us what to do. Here you go bro! Enjoy!
Steemit is just a wonderful community! How cool is this clip? Thanks for that. My hubby wants to plant a fig tree as well, and I will show him this.
Thanks so much for that!!
It is a fig tree! This will be our first one. @papa-pepper had to give us some advice on growing them, we are very new gardners. Good luck with yours.
Thanks...you too. :)
