Time Goes So Fast!! May 28, 2009
Haven’t been on-line as much as I would like been so busy trying to get hay cut, baled and in – between the flooding rain storms, garden work done, plus care for the animals. Soon our milk cow Bella will be having her calf and then the work really begins with daily milkings added to the list.
My premier book “From the Recipe Box” is due to arrive from the printer this week – so my editor and I can give it a final check over before it goes to print. This has been a dream for so long – I still can not believe it is coming true. I am putting together a book of all my Lehman’s articles (www.lehmans.com) from over the last 4 years it will be out this summer.
My son Joshua has been sent to pull duty for the US Coast Guard along the Great Lakes (we live in North Carolina) until September – he left yesterday – his wife will remain here – they live just down the lane so she is close if need be.
Daughter Rachel has this week off work (outside the home, Mommy’s don’t get time off) she took her brother to the airport and today got some rest – she has really been pushing to the wall and needs a break. School is almost over snd grand-daughter Caitlin is so ready, this week they had End-of-Grade testing – YUCK!
Grilling Outdoors as a Family May 17, 2009
Even families who run small farm together do not always have the time to gather and be silly – especially, once the children are grown and have lives of their own.
I see both my children almost everyday, but to just gather around the grill and get silly while setting up the fixin station – no. Last night was one of those fun nights. Everybody was together.
First we watched the secon jewel in the Triple crown (horse race) Won by a girl – Go Rachel Alexander!!!
Then guys manned the grill and us women handled the kitchen prep – tomatoes, onion, and lettuce were sliced, set up buffet style with all the ketchup, relish, potato chips. etc. Then everyone fixed a plate and sat down to enjoy. We watched the All-Star Race from Charlotte NC (we have all gone as a family when money wasn’t such a problem) The race was boring but the stories, jokes, and laughs that filled the family room while we ate and watched were great!! Son Joshua and grand-daughter Caitlin roasted marshmallows.
It has been a hard week for all of us and there is still more hurdles to overcome – but I am trying not to allow the worry to win. It will all be handled by a power greater than me.
Through the Eyes of a Child May 8, 2009
Spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. Many of us that have chosen to live our lives directed toward the “Older Ways” find that spring is also a very busy time. There are fields to ready, gardens to till, crops, seeds and plants to prepare and get into the ground. This does not even begin to count in the everyday work involved to tend a home and family. As we work and toil it is easy to loose sight of the simple beauties that are emerging around us. Nothing can bring you back in focus as fast as hearing a child discover new life.
Our family in our home is comprised of three generations, with a fourth generation living both next door and down the lane. This mixture provides for a lot of new adventures. Our daughter Rachel’s little girl, Caitlin, is 5 years old. She is a very busy bundle of energy. Which can be a big help in the everyday chores of running a small farm; that includes cows, dairy goats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, a horse, a donkey, plus dogs and cats? We also grow large gardens full of a variety of vegetables, berries, flowers, as well as, culinary and medicinal herbs. The rain set in just as we were almost finished, the rest will have to wait.
I was surprised to find my renewal was not yet complete. Upon entering the kitchen we were greeted by the loud sound of “peeping”. The eggs in the incubator have started to hatch – such excitement, after caring and waiting for them, for almost three weeks. Once again new life and new experiences are at our grasp as each little chick emerges from his shell. Soon there will be a whole boxful of chicks to feed and care for, but it does not seem as much like work now. It is more like an opportunity, a chance to be part of a new life. An opportunity that was right in front of me, I just did not see it.
Take time to renew your vision. Take the time to see life through the eyes of a child. It is an amazing journey. One you will be glad that you did not miss.
