Storms Ahead
So I managed to get the garden in yesterday morning (OK there are still a few things left) right before the severe weather rolled though. But you want to know a secret? Come closer, a little more. OK- here goes.
I feel guilty.
No really- we spent the money to have the two plots tilled in and then we never got around to planting them. Then we rented a tiller and I re-tilled the smaller patch. But one night, after yet another impromptu therapy session around the kitchen table, I walked outside with FarmerGeek and nearly lost it. I was so overwhelmed with the kids, the new barn, the laundry, the dishes, the cooking, the housework, the garden, the 4-H project, the fact summer is coming and I will be the sole caregiver for two very needy girls for 3 months, trying to plan an adoption day party when we still don't know when exactly adoption day will be, that I just couldn't take anymore. So the result was- scale back on the garden. Which made my work incredibly less, and will make canning time easier (you just can't plan anything right now, we could get the canner going and have to stop everything to deal with Dell's issues du jour) but at the same time I feel so guilty about it.
And I'm mad because there are things I'd like to plant and can't.
Then the thunderstorms rolled in and are planning on sticking around for a while.
But then again, I already knew that.
I feel guilty.

The Right Girl
I am totally enamored with the Right Girl's blog and she's having a giveaway. Now you know me- if there's a giveaway I'm entering! But I really want this pitcher since I'm obsessed with them... So here's my Catch-22, I post it here to enter, but if I post it you people might enter and thus destroy my chances- what's a girl to do? LOL
OK people...
I have to get back to blogging- but I have a feeling that this blog, much like my life, will be taking on a new focus.
