Blogging Journey – Where has summer gone?
It’s mid-August and I don’t know where the summer has gone. It has flown by so fast along with all my good intentions – blog postings, art projects, professional reading, yard dreams, etc. But…despite good intentions being lost to the sunny days of summer, I have accomplished so much more than expected.
Though I enjoy my life as a learner in the field of education, I threw myself into family and farm life this summer. My days are full as I nuture my family and my garden (which I affectionately refer to as the football field). Our family has spent days working and playing with extended family and friends. My son has spent a few days ‘helping’ mom with his minature rake and hoe in the garden. My only worry is catching him before he pulls a vegetable plant rather than a weed. He has recently enjoyed his first camping trip filled with swimming, walks along the lake, ice cream, and lots of ‘kids’. As an only child, nothing measures up to playing with other ‘kids’.
Due to the bounty of our football field, I’ve taken to learning new and traditional recipes for preserving – strong German dishes like homemade sauerkraut and bieruck (I apologize for my spelling). I spend my days in domestic bliss.
With that said, I have to say that I’m gearing up for classes in the fall. The student in me is eager to learn more and touch base with friends that I haven’t seen in a while.
Take care and enjoy as the sun smiles upon you.
