Monday

The start to a new week is always a little awkward, Mondays being the hardest.
Weekends are usually the busiest time around here since Chris is home, the kids are at Grandma’s in the city and we can scramble to catch up on planting, weeding, installing irrigation etc. Basically those two days are devoted to an all out farming marathon.While extremely rewarding, the weekend push can be a real ass kicker.
During the week it’s a different pace which includes kiddos, helpers, animals, watering, harvesting, selling, making dinner, meeting with brides and delivering. It can be lonely and often a bit overwhelming keeping this little machine running smoothly all on my own.
The weekends almost always feel like a relief since I can finally share the weight of it all with another.
Today feels especially hard to make the transition. My daily to-do list is growing past the point of possible, hungry kitties have been circling my feet all morning begging for food (we’re out), I hear kiddos stirring, there are wedding estimates to finish up and shortly the greenhouse builder will arrive.Pheew!
On a brighter note, the Sweet Peas, old fashioned Roses and Coral Peonies have all started to bloom! I will have lots of photos to share later this week. But first, more coffee and a strong  pep talk are in order ;)
