more work to do now that the kids are in school. How did that happen?

With the kids gone, you actually have a momment to look around and notice what needs to be done.

This is the first time in 30 years I haven't sent someone off to school. I am feeling very 'out of the loop' and certainly not with it.

...and then you realize that you have neither the energy nor the desire to do any of it...

Since you are a farmer, I thought I would tell you about my farming experiences this summer.

I planted 10 tomato plants this spring. I like a nice fresh tomato, so I planted 10, just in case a couple died.

Why have I not been on FR lately?

BECAUSE IT'S FREAKIN' HARVEST TIME!!!!

I am overrun in tomatoes. I am picking them daily. My stovetop is all tomatoes, my windowsills are tomatoes, my plants are still covered in tomatoes.

I have made gallons of sauce, I have given bag upon bag to the homeless shelter.

I just went outside to water these evil beast of a plant, and those stupid things are growing more flowers. I have to get read for round two.

WILL THIS EVER END!!
