Running on Fumes

Reader Contribution by Sherry Leverich Tucker

The month of June left me completely exhausted. I am hopeful that July will have a little more mercy on me. June is filled with a convergence of many summertime activities: kids functions, family get-togethers, livestock shows, wedding cakes, camps, and the county fair. Yes, I know, I haven’t even mentioned the garden end of the spectrum. June is when the weeds really start taking over and need to be controlled, bugs are getting thicker, everything that is going to be planted needs to be planted, harvesting begins, and the farmers market really gets going. Throw in building a72 foot long hoophouse, and expanding the garden and we’re talking about serious overload.

I am Mom, too. Meals, maintaining my kitchen and laundry seem to be never ending tasks. Never the less, I am not complaining; for most of these chores and events are not daunting to me, in fact, I thoroughly enjoy each opportunity and experience that comes our way. I just, at times, get overwhelmed.

Harvest, Yes!
