Fall Garden?

I woke up with a long list of things in mind that I wanted to accomplish today. Then again, when don't I? It kind of goes hand-in-hand with 3 kids and a wanna-be farm, I guess. Anyway, the #1 priority for me today was working on cleaning up my herb/kitchen garden beds. They're in a dreadful state of neglect and I'm determined to have a fall garden this year.

Suffice it to say that it's nearly suppertime and I haven't done one blasted thing in the garden today. What I DID do, in no particular order:

• Got rid of the ants. (Yay me!)


• Cleaned up a mess on the back porch.


• Gave Butter Bean a bath after he peed all over himself and the changing table.


• Fed & watered the chickens and moved the tractor.


• Baked 4 loaves of bread.


• Made a batch of White Sauce Butter Balls for the freezer: http://chickensintheroad.com/farm-bell-recipes/white-sauce-butter-balls/


• Put dinner in the oven (Honey Baked Lentils & rice).


• Cuddled and fed the baby.


• Took a nap (we both fell asleep while doing the above).


• Changed diapers. A lot.


• Washed a mountain of dishes.


• Discussed OB's and the birthing culture in our area with a pregnant friend while doing some of the above. 'Cause I can multitask! :D

I still want to pull some weeds and plant some seeds. Maybe tomorrow.
