I have been weeding, harvesting, planting fall crops, dehydrating, freezing, cooking tomatoes into freezable sauce, numerous non food producing projects, recuperating on the couch. Repeat. I swing from very busy to very tired and not having enough energy to deal with everything. The blog is suffering. Filed under: Cows and Environment
