Just Wondering....

Do you ever feel like you are being pulled at from 3 different directions (or more)?

Do you ever feel like you will never get done with the things that HAVE to get done?

Do you ever feel NOT appreciated?

Do you ever just want to GIVE UP?

Yes, I am having one of those weeks!!!!!

Weekend

Wow...had a busy weekend! We got quite a few beans harvested. We were just finishing up a field and got all the equipment hauled home last night when a bad storm hit. It was worse south of us but we had thunder, lightening, a little wind and a downpour. The timing couldn't have been better, we had just finished up the field we were on and it was going to be a few days before we had any more ready. I can really use this time to be getting caught up in the house!!!!!

Harvest

The fall harvest has begun! We started on the soybeans yesterday....not sure how they are running because I had to leave to watch Courtney play volleyball (yup, my loyalties are with my kids first, then the farm....lol). I will be heading to the field shortly but I do get to quit early today....Courtney cheers for the football team and they have a game....an hour and a half away (*sigh*). I better watch it or they might fire me for leaving early all the time....ha!

Soybeans

The soybeans are just about ready to harvest. We are going to try some tomorrow to see if they are ready to go. NOW the busy season starts! We are hoping for a safe and bountiful harvest season.

Apples!

My sister gave me some apples from her tree and I have made 1 large apple crisp and am planning on trying some new things with the rest....anybody have any good apple recipes????

Life's Trials

Courtney is going through some of life's tough trials right now. I am trying my best to let her get through it herself but it's so hard to not step in and take over. I know she will be a better person in the long run but it's so hard to see your kids go through tough times.....especially one that it is so preventable.

Canning

I got more canning done yesterday....8 quarts and 4 pints of salsa, 5 quarts of spaghetti sauce and 5 pints and 12 jelly jars of plum jelly. I have more tomatoes just about ready to can and my sister has more plums. I think I will pass on the plums and my sister may take some tomatoes off my hands. With Courtney's volleyball and cheerleading schedule and the farm, I am having a hard time finding the time to get my canning done this year.
