Waiting for spring
It is in the low 50’s today which makes me quite anxious for spring to officially arrive! I ordered our seeds for our garden last week, which I plan to at least double in size this year. I decided to try the heirloom route this year http://www.seedsavers.org/ after listening to this audio book,
I have no time to sit down and read something like this but with car trips here and there, running kids to a class, and the occasional quiet moment around here (ha), I am almost finished listening! I think audio books have to be one of the best inventions for a busy mom. Here is the website with loads of info and my favorite, recipes. http://www.animalvegetablemiracle.com/.
Our yard could use a major overhall but I think we will try to get some more debt paid down before we tackle it. I planted several bushes last summer and fall as well as some bulbs that I hope have survived.
I am wondering how to keep a large garden in order while mothering my family in a way that will keep everyone happy, content and growing in all the right ways. I think I need to take stock of my expectations and make sure they are in check. I often have high lofty goals but forget I am the mother of 6 children who are in constant need of my attention and correction. It seems we are all on a constant learning curve around here.
