Survival

Now I remember why I titled my blog Plain & Simple- because that's how things are. During harvest, it's nothing but survival. Cereal for breakfasts, lunch from the cooler, and freezer burritos for dinner. Pretty plain, boring, and mundane. I try to make sure we have clean clothes for the next day before I go to bed. My lawn has burnt up and looks so white trash. Too bad it doesn't die evenly, no there's still got to be a few green spots to mow. I have a huge box full of tomatoes that I'm going to try to get canned tomorrow (still keeping my fingers crossed I'll only have to work a 1/2 day.) In the meantime, trips to town grocery shopping, scrapping, visiting, and hair fixing have all been put on hold. Wait just one minute. . . hair fixing has long since been abandoned. I don't know what I'm going to do with all my time when I am no longer working 12+ hour days, 6 days a week. Oh yeah, I'll go crazy. That's how farming goes. No constant pace. It's all or nothing, and for another four weeks I hope I can give it my all.
