But our farm is still the same size it was with 5 people here. My husband and daughter do all the can do, which is the 1/3 and 1/2. And we need the farm now, even more than before.

Sweetmama2: Thank you for your friendship, and your prayers.  And I'm here when you need me.

 The day I wrote the last post, I took the day off. I only did have to farm chores, and made eggs, bacon, toast for dinner. The rest of the day was mine. and oh, how I enjoyed it. I really needed it in more ways than one. Some of you might think that is selfish of me, and I'm sorry, but I needed it. I knitted, looked up things on the web, just slowed down some, it was great. Than yesterday my hubby called in help for me, he is a wonderful Godly man. This lady "Mrs. Ann" came and helped my daughter and I do all those apples. with out her it would  have taken us 3 days to do. So thank you Mrs. Ann, you are a blessing.  So from those two big tugs of apples, we got: 16 jelly jars of apple jelly, 10 1/2 pints of apple butter, 17 quarts and 1 pint of apple sauce. Thank you Lord. And next week I'm to go and get some more apples. This was my first year for the apple jelly and butter, and for those of you who make it all the time, I really look up to you. As I have found them to take the most time and work to make. They both turned out great. I add apple pie spice to the apple butter, and everyone loved it. I only added enough to give it just a little kick, and they want me to make more. so we'll see with the next batch  of apples.  Well I need to do the never ending job of washing clothes. So I hope you all have a great weekend. And thanks again for letting me vent, and for all your prays and friendships. Becky

I think you needed a day to recharge. Maybe you can do this once a month to help yourself to not stress out. I need time to myself but it seems very hard to get sometimes. Going months sometimes. I know that some people never need time by themselves but I am not like that. I need to re-group sometimes. You just need to sit and knit. Don't feel bad, just enjoy. God Bless. I

You and your family are in my prayers.
I don't think you are selfish because you need a day of rest. I know I do :)

In Him, Jill (the big sister)

I will continue to pray

You really are an inspiration! So, even if you're feeling completely at the end of your rope, know that what you're doing isn't just affecting your family and strengthening them, but you are strengthening so many others--others you'll probably never meet! Thanx a ton--from someone you'll probably never meet, but who really appreciates who you are!
