Breathe deep and focus...

One thing, of many, I have learned in our twenty years here is that it seems EVERYTHING is a priority! So...you have to determine which are the most life threatening and urgent and get it done, then move on.  The animals are always first, then other chores and projects get done.  You have to keep it in perspective or get burned out.... and you have to take some time off.  If you wait until everything is done, you will never get a rest day, because it will never be done.  Sometimes CA and I just close our eyes to the work all around us and walk to the bay or lay in the grass with the dogs.  We HAVE to have those days.  Keeps us smiling!...and ultimately makes us more productive.  

Just planted our second crop of beans, tomatoes and cucumbers.  Also planted a late bed of okra and carrots...everything is coming up nice!  Running late planting some fall veggies but will get them asap! People have been asking for naturally grown bedding plants, so we are trying to get those started and will have lots available in the spring, along with some fresh veggies and microgreens for sale. We are also trying to conquer the messy, gone wild,  center area and turn it into the beautiful cut herb area it will be by 2018.  The gardens on the left of the house are going to be the woodland herb area for those herbs that like a little shade.  I think I am going to start posting before and after shots of those areas on Facebook...should be interesting! What a mess they are now!
