Burns Best Farm

Where has the summer gone?

I have just finished placing the motherlode of all curriculum orders for school this fall.  We have two students here at the farm this year, so the books are many and the plans are doubling for the teacher.  I was prompted to place my order today after talking/emailing with several friends, both homeschool moms and other-school moms and hearing everyone talk about "one last week away before school starts".  And then it hit me:  next week is the first week of August!

WOW!  This summer is really our first summer to harvest anything of quantity at the farm.  We've had blueberries for a couple of years but the bushes have been so small, we could pick through them in no time.  And we haven't stayed up there for days on end like the boys and I did this summer.  I've been picking all summer, one crop after another, and all of a sudden, I look up and it's back-to-school time!

I am glad we home-educate.  I am thankful that it's possible and that my husband and (most of) my extended family sees it as worthwhile. 

Meanwhile, back in the tomato kitchen, Daddy will be making some salsa tonight.  I'll let you know how it goes! 

It's that time for me too...
