"Where'd you GO?"

"Where'd you GO?"  A recently asked question from a loyal customer.

We actually haven't gone anywhere, but it would seem so since I have not informed you about anything happening on the farm.  We have had some of the roughest and sweetest weeks the last month. 

One day as I was out working, I began adding up the hours we work each week.  It was such an astounding number that I recalculated, since I am not a math wizard!  I informed Andy and he looked at me like I just figured out what color grass is (he already knew).  Well, it was a revelation to me.  My body knew, just not my mind.  Other things knew as well, like my laundry room, our car that doesn't run properly, our garden (what you can see of it), our friends that we fellowship with, and our family was beginning to tell the truth, too.  We had far too little time for each other anymore. 

We have done some deep soul searching and farm revisiting in the last weeks.  We have decided to put the cow share program on hold at this time.  I feel like I have lost a friend of sorts.  But this is just what we feel we have to do to get our house in order.  When and if things work differently, this will be utmost on our list of things to do and reform.

The other thing we did was go on vacation.  We have been planning this with my family since January.  Some of the craziness before our week off was preparation and training of some help to be able to go away.  It was a truly blessed week.  We had fun, peace, relaxation, and some new experiences, sleeping in!!!

But due to all of this whirlwind of activity, I haven't been writing much to let you know what's going on!!  I will be a more dedicated web student from now on, I promise.  Thank you for your support and dedication to real food.  Stay tuned for our farm updates.  Be blessed, Tracy
