Summer Craziness

It never fails.  Just when you think you can take a breath and relax another pile of stuff comes up.  We were thinking we could kick back and relax for a minute and then realized a couple of things. Well, I realized them anyway.  Harvest is coming upon us very quickly from the garden.  My first farmer's market as a vendor is this Saturday, the yard needs mowing again, weeds grow like crazy, and school starts soon!  Ack!  It is barely over a month until school starts again.  How does that work?!

So I'm finding myself feeling behind on everything.  I need to get canning and drying the garden bounty.  I'm finding I have a lot since we are doing the half share in a CSA (community supported agriculture) farm on top of what my garden is putting out. 

This month we have swim lessons with the kids.  Bear needs a physical and an eye exam before school starts.  New puppy needs spayed.  Kittens both need spayed.  I need to find and get chickens.  I have a ton of wool to process.  I have farmer's markets to do.  We need to go school shopping for Bear since he'll actually be entering kindergarten this Fall.  I need to find out whether or not he'll have a bus ride or if we have to take him to school and pick him up.  Tom and I need to go to the eye doctor.  At least we have gotten both dogs basic vet visits done along with their shots.  Both kids and I are done with the dentist for awhile.  So, a few things are crossed off my list.

Of course a lot more would get done if I got off the computer. :)  I suppose I'll go do some of that.  I have beets that need pickling and spinning that needs done.  And dishes and basic house stuff.  Yuck.  At least the canning stuff is fun.  Oh, and I at least get a day or two break from laundry since the washer is leaking at the inlet.  It does this every so often so Tom has to fix it before I can do laundry again.  That doesn't break my heart but it does mean laundry will pile up.
