Goodness I’m out of practice. My fingers feel stiff and my mind feels sluggish. That is what a long and busy summer has done to me. These past months I’ve often felt like my projects are running me rather than me running my projects. But Fall is on its way. I can feel it in the air and in my resolve to make my garden grow. I am weary after a wet June and a HOT July. August has thus far been much nicer to me but I’m not counting my good days just yet. That ever present heat and humidity lurks at the edges of my thoughts.

I am proud of my boys. They hauled a lot of water and did a lot of checking during our massive heat wave. They trooped out into the heat to care for their animals without much complaint. I do believe I am indeed raising Farm Boys.

And maybe I’m becoming a farmer too.
