Burns Best Farm

Blog Silence Interrupted

Clearing away the static of dead air,  I just wanted say hello and dampen down the rumors of my untimely demise.  You all know I don't have another blog that I post to, so I don't put my homeschool thoughts in one place and my homestead experiences here, and my oh-so-active social life in yet another.  But I'm telling you, these last two weeks have just flown by with each day busier than the one before.  I apologize to all of you who have stopped by here and been disappointed or irritated with the lack of new material.  I will try harder!

All that to say, schooling two boys and managing a toddler (who is sick this week, I might add) is taking it's toll on my free time.  If I thought farming this summer was difficult, schooling is a bit more time-taking.  Which is the point, I know.  But it still eats into my computer time.

So with all the excuse making and finger-pointing out of the way, I can say that we haven't been farming much lately and I'm hosting a farm field trip for my homeschool group next week.  Which will probably keep me busy for another 8 days, and then my hostessing responisibilities are over for another year!  Nothing like shedding responsibility to make me happy!

Ya'll have a good day and I'll be back later to update the details.

Glad you are still in the neighborhood! I do check your blog often, even tho I don't often comment.
Just love all your sharing.
Just found the BookCloseouts.com site. I think my main passion in life is books. When I moved I had to downsize quite a bit, and some of my books had to go. I think that was the hardest - deciding which ones to let go of.
But, now it looks like i will be restocking - I do use the library much - and today I go and get my library card.
Love to you,
Barb

It's okay if you can't blog all the time. Homeschooling comes first and going into our 11th year of homeschooling next week, I agree with you - it's not easy. Hope your little guy is feeling better soon

Your blog was mentioned in a conversation I had with my mom [ thatday] yesterday. We both like to visit you; so i thought i would stop by and say howdy. I think our effort and time in homeschooling is rewarded by the joy of spending time with our children, and getting to choose what is put in their heads and hearts.

Would love to hear from your Mom. Tell her I felt the same way when I started my blog, but I have found so many very good friends here - and just know that in Heaven we can have a big "Blog" Party - and have Jesus as our special Guest. Oh, my, won't that be the party.
My daughter, kas, moved from Medford in 1982 - to Pendleton - a very long 8 to 10 hours on the freeway. And finally we are back together again. And I am so blessed now to be able to be a closer part of her family.
Bless you,
Barb

I am with you 100% on that one. I only have one boy and a toddler girl with allergy problems right now. It is definitely difficult. Hope your toddler gets to feeling better.

God bless,
Christy
