I have another new phone number:

Contact me for the new number

Any other numbers you have are no longer in use.

However, we have been experiencing some technical difficulties with is new phone service and once in a while when you call my new number it will give some sort of error message. We are still working on this problem, but rest assured you have the correct number….please try again later. To say we have had problems with our phones here in this house would be a huge understatement so please bear with us as we work out (and maybe live with) some of the difficulties of living out in the sticks!

So, I am trying to plan for the rest of the summer. The garden is coming on in full force and I don’t feel capable of keeping up with weeding, putting up all the produce that is headed our way, and managing the kids. [NOTE: this short list does not include house or animal chores that are requirements.] It was suggested to me to work in the garden during naps and do the canning after they go to bed. Whew! When is a girl supposed to sleep?

So, I am trying to make a new plan for getting it all done. It is in the beginning stages but that is what I have set my mind to. We’ll see how it come out! As I plan…anyone have any suggestions that work for them? How to balance 2 very active kids (that often seem like twins) with canning and keeping up a 1/2 acre garden? I’d love to hear them!
