And life keeps rolling on

It seems like I have good intentions with this blog. I've written decent posts, and have really tried ot keep track of things at the beginning, but dang it all if I've not totally slacked off, leaving this little page to fend of itself. I hate that, that feeling of guilt for not taking care of something. For me, guilt, for whatever reason, is always there. Whether it be stupid guilt like I'm feeling for not posting, guilt as a father or husband, not spending enough time with his family, guilt as a son not calling his parents enough, or as a teacher, spending not enough time on school work.

Anyway, much is getting done around our little place right now, or has been done over the summer. We've put up a building that is 26 x 40, a good sized shed in which half will be for our cars (our other out buildings aren't so hot) and half would be for animals of some sort, when we get that far. The only problem that I find with this building, we have taken out part of our home equity loan to pay for it, while we have the cash in the bank that we could do so as well.

Another positive on our place, we are to the point where fencing is almost done on one small section. If we get this done, we'll be set for sheep or goats or something this next spring. We'll see how that goes a well. Our gardens have been disappointing in some areas (corn, melons) and better then hoped for on others (potatoes, green beans, tomatoes). I'm not entirely sold on our organic growers group, but we'll keep going to meetings and see how it goes.

Our one downfall this summer, vacation. The last three years we've taken a family vacation of some sort, and this summer, it just never materialized. That will change next year. Where will we go, I have no idea, but we will go somewhere.

Nothing much else right now, I'll be making a better effort at keeping this updated.
