I once heard how summer is supposed to be a slow relaxing and carefree time…Ummm, For Who?
Summers in our home are actually the busiest time of the year…
- Farm~baling hay
- Wheat Harvest
- Animals
- Garden~over an acre…
- Preserving Produce~potatoes, onions, green beans, peppers, salsa, peaches, apples, and more
- Homeschool Convention
- Vacation Bible School
- Company coming~3 different weeks that I know of.
- Family Visits
- Summer Bible Camp
- A Little School Here and There
- Friend’s Graduation
- TOS Homeschool Crew starting back up at the end of June-Mid July.
So, as you can see, my time is going to be more limited then normal. My goal is for my children not to dread summer because it is so busy for our family. I want to still include a trip to the pool, wildlife refuge and time to play. Therefore, I am going to be slowing my blog WAY down…2-3 posts a week.
Another thought here…Nature Study Tuesday has not had any participants recently, I am going to stop it…I hate to, but I have to. If at sometime I find God leading me back, I will. However, I need participants…Same goes with Homeschool Snips & Tips.
I will leave my buttons and info pages up for now…as I pray this is a temporary thing. I need to make time in other areas of my life for a bit.
I have a few reviews for this summer. So, they won’t completely stop…a few of them, I have asked to review and are very special needs oriented.
As we enter the warmer months for our area, I find that spending time outside away from the computer to be a priority…Why?
- I can enjoy my family more outside of the four walls that echo the noise.
- I can enjoy God’s creation and reflect on him more.
- I can get lots of vitamin D
- I can get exercise and help build a healthier me.
This past winter was quite harsh here and getting out did not happen much. I want take advantage of nicer temperatures and enjoy God’s creation more.
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
