Fall catch up

     Well our little lady is 3 months old and we've almost got her figured out. It really would be nice if babies came with manuals or maybe a live in nanny.  The homestead hasn't been getting much attention but that should be changing now.  Our honey do list for the property seems endless at the moment. We had to sit and write everything down and organize it into the coming months and weeks. 

     There is one project that will be ongoing until spring, raised beds.  We have come to the conclusion that we are tired of putting so many hours of work plus so much sweat into a garden that isn't yielding the harvest it should.  It was our hope to improve our soil but at this point it doesn't seem possible.  Plus the fact that we can't keep intruders from eating our plants.  Now we will be able to bring in beautiful soil and build barriers around the beds.

     Some other items on our list include fencing, landscaping, processing firewood, along with every day maintenance around the homestead.  Oh wait there's also maintaining our house, working our actual jobs that pay for these projects and keeping two kids alive.  There are days when living in the suburbs sounds like a good idea, at least I would have more time to do Pinterest craft projects but that's not the life for us.  Ok I do love crafts but the joy I see in lil man's eyes when he's exploring and learning our trade makes my heart swell and makes me realize why we are doing this. Now I'm off to juggle a baby in my arms while putting away the clean laundry, another never ending chore.  

Beautiful rainbow from first fall rain.
