On the way to Sustainability, one pice at the time.
(Doyon, North Dakota)

Who has time???

Who has time to visit the neighbors, bake all the bake gods our family needs, do all the things that needs to get done around here???

Sounds familiar??? I am sure that we are not the only family who struggles with this constant battle.  I know that our daughter should have been enroll in dance, Sunday school and ALL the other activities out there.

But, STOP, my day have 24 hours, I neeeeed 8 to 9 hours of sleep, I have almost 2 hour commute to work, 5 days a week. I work 8 hours 3 days and 9 hours 2 days a week.

So the rest of the time I want to have a bit control over. I like visiting our friends and family, but we do not do enough of that. I am sorry for this, so that is some thing we will do more of. I like to bake, I am good at it, and I skimp on the sugar, without loosing the taste. I like the farm work, the chores, raising our children and our animals. So I have 30 days left of paid work outside our farm. Good and scarey.

Time to spend time on our money tracker, so we can make ends meet. Time to advertize our CSA for full steam, time to sell down some horses, lambing and kidding time and TIME for us. Since we work opposite schedules, I think we need a few days here and there on us, and our farm.

So time is coming, or is it going????

To next time....stop and see a neighbor.
