Take time to smell the roses (or is that animal poo) im not sure which one you would rather. You have achieved so so much and i think this list of yours is a good idea. Did you build a flexible timeframe around this list. Otherwise its just too long and will stress you and everyone else. Remember you are both working and have daily care of the animals. Call a busy bee of friends. Put on a BBQ and get one major thing done that needs arms and legs. Do you have a "shelter" for unemployed or homeless people near by? Offer them homecooked meals for labour. Just throwing things out there for you to consider. Enjoy your day and go cuddle the kids.

My mom asked me one day why I would want to spin my own fiber, when I can go buy some or why would I want to knit my own socks when I can buy some at Kohls?! I think so much of what we are trying to do is just knowing that we CAN do it, know HOW to do it. <br />When we got the house, I had it in my mind that we need everything done, now...I'm trying to learn that there are only so many hours in the day and that we will be here for the rest of our lives...slow down. Let me know if there is anything that we are doing that you want to hear more about :-)Fresh Eggs Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718985258467172827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146838554470704690.post-90065464195743962952013-04-19T14:22:12.102-07:002013-04-19T14:22:12.102-07:00I could have written this post.

With only a small space, I feel that there's less for us to do than you guys. It's also easy to imagine why, when the industrial revolution hit, people breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped doing it all. But the satisfaction, and importance of knowing how to do these things, far outweigh the confusion, lists and goans. <br /><br />But today, we are building compost tumbler number two, building our first bee box and composting a new garden bed. I hope your lists help, and I can't wait to hear what happens next! The Life of Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15664575290861091769noreply@blogger.com
