This week a long house has been built out of materials lying around. Lessons have been done sporadically, very little knitting, but some reading. It is just the beginning of the week, but so far it's been hot and irritable for most everyone. Mostly I have been on the cranky side with feeling like my walls are closing in on me. Baby has been teething and not sleeping ~ nursing again as if he were a newborn. My days feel long and hazy with fog brain. If you are a mama, I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about ~ right??
I thought, really I should just stay away from the blog world and keep the struggle of life this week to myself, then I thought, meh I should share and be real and transparent. I'm a wife/mama/woman with a good, blessed life, with hard times and struggles just like others.
One of my favorite things to do right now is go down to the cottage and sit~knit, read, watch work being done. I get to hang out with hubby while he works and have grown up chit chat off and on but mostly just a lot of joking because that's just the kind of family we are. If you take things to seriously with this amount of people you might find yourself very unhappy. We have learned ~ you either cry or laugh at life, we usually choose laugh. Anyway I get down there about once a week and try to make a day of it. I'm needed some for laying out and planning exactly how I want things...whew. I'm glad I get to be there for that, the garden also needs tending to and I do enjoy checking each week on how everything is coming along.
Sis and I planted a smallish fall garden, something I have never done. Beets, turnips, lettuce, spinach, peas, carrots, and some early producing tomatoes. I may have been to optimistic about the tomatoes, we shall just have to see. Much to my dismay the deer have clipped off all of my bush beans...again. They are starting to grow leaves again. Maybe I should try to detour the deer...hmmm. We have tiny little melons and butternut squash coming on. Lots of green tomatoes and a couple cucumbers here and there.
Here's to a better second half of the week!
