Well, hello all and I am glad to be back, it has been a few weeks since I last spoke to you Family. As always God is Good. Sta and I have had some adventures since the last chat about the garden and how it speaks, of course not literally but literally.  I have realized while camping that it really is its OWN community.  I love the fact that most of the people are genuinely nice and look out for one another. This last time we went camping just at a state park, there was a young guy that was driving his vehicle and pretty fast at that, the speed limit around the park is 10 mph

How the garden Speaks!!!

Good day all, I wanted to talk about my (Jay) outdoor time of gardening.  I have been doing a garden at our home for maybe 4yrs now. This started with the idea of just growing and sharing whatever we grew. Now Mind you I had never done any of this before it was all trial and error and I had a lot of error. The 1st year my Brother-in-law and I built a massive garden bed, I planted cabbage, peppers, various types of tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans. So, I planted everything, and I watered the garden daily and as time went on, I started to see some growth. Now I did look up some garden videos, read a lot on the subject to get a basic understanding of what I needed to do along with how each type of vegetable I planted would grow.  Well, I started getting this plant that was growing rapidly, and I was so excited because it was getting super tall, but I noticed there was no flowers on it. So, after a little research I found out what I had been growing or should I say allowed to grow was nothing more than a weed. LOL. Now I did catch it fairly early, but it was kind of funny because it was not just one but like 3.  Now I have come a long way since that first year. This year (2025) I have downsized and just do the basics, but the idea is still the same. I share whatever I grow with whomever needs or just wants to enjoy.  I have learned so much about gardening but not just that but how it relates to our journey in life in so many ways. See if I would have allowed that weed to continue to grow it would have choked out the actual plants I planted, and they would not have produced. We sometimes can have weeds (people, places or things) in our life that need to be removed. It has choked out the very life that God wants to come forth in you. If we just look around us God is always speaking and always have spoken through nature, I mean He uses everything to try and catch our attention. We have to be open to see and hear all that he wants to show us.  Back to the gardening, this has been something I have grown to enjoy and love doing. It brings my family and I together and outdoors even more now. I hope you all have been enjoying these blogs we have been posting and allowing our words to be inspiring. As always, make sure that you drop a comment and go and check out the YouTube page JaynStay outdoors. We continue to pray for you all those we know and even those we do not. Until next time be safe and may The Lord shine Upon you.

God Is Good

Well, I have to say that on this last adventure we had a great time. Not that we don't any other time, but this one was fun.  If you have watched our last video on YouTube, we posted you saw that we just got a 16-person tent. We took the tent to Mosquito State Park, and I must say it was Awesome. It was Stay and our children and then my mother -in-law came. Now let me pause, this was her 1st camping trip EVER and I would have to say that she loved it. Now n this new tent that we used we had so much room.  I mean i know we showed you all on the video, but you would really need to see it live and in living color. Day one is getting the site all set up and relaxing. Stay usually does not cook and we have a super simple meal. Which this is what we did, we ended up watching Mrs. Doubtfire around the fire. Umm, is that right? lol

Getting To Know JayNStay

Hey, what is going on Fam, I would like to start off by saying We (Jay and Stay) want to thank God for allowing it to be possible for us to engage with all mankind. Lord, we really do thank you. Of course, we want to say thank you also to all of those who follow us on whatever stream of social media and our prayer is that through our journey we can be a light to all of those who watch.

This was so inspiring! Watching your outdoor adventures really makes me want to get outside and explore more. There’s nothing like fresh air, open skies, and a little adventure to reset the soul. Can’t wait to see where your next journey takes you both!
