A migraine woke my up last night, been trying to get rid of it ever since. They slowed down a bit in this cooler summer, and I have no idea what triggered this one. But it has subsided enough that I can see with my right eye again, kind of, depth perseption is still slightly off, but enough that it doesn't bother me to be on the computer. But you aren't here to hear about that, you want to hear that I will be in the city tomoorrow, in the Parking lot of Bently elemantry, selling baked goods to raise money for a child with cancer. (yes, that would be in Wichita, Kansas)
I have been lost lately, the homestead right before winter sees many chances, and it can get overwhelming. I am finding that once again, I need to take a step back and finish one project, instead of getting distracted and dessperate. Hey, it happens to the best of us. My husband isn't the greatest of help right now, we are getting more and more motorcycle in and out of here. Which to be truthful, is fine because that money goes toward Christmas.
Speaking of Christmas, I am rather relived that I had implamented the no electronic toys for Christmas rule a few years back. I couldn't imagine what this Christmas would be like without that rule, oh hey wait I can. They would behave like they did the first year we did it, have a blast and not complain about what they didn't get. Oh, they comlained when I first informed them of this rule, but come Christmas morning, it was all good.
The house and land right across the road from me will be going up for sale soon. I would love to be able to pick my neighbors this time.
Well off to go bake. Don't forget that I will be posting on Woman not Dabbling in Normal tomorrow.
This post brought to you by Ritalin, something this author obviously needs this morning.

Just checking in to say hello.
hope you are feeling better!
Sorry to hear about the migrane... even something as simple as baking is a bear with one of those hanging on. Best wished on making a bundle of money with the baking... and I wish you well on choosing your neighbor. Maybe the current one will take you guys into consideration. That's how I got my farm even though there was a larger offer!
HOMESTEADING DEFINED
"It's not a single idea, but many ideas and attitudes, including a reverence for nature and a preference for country life; a desire for maximum personal self-reliance and creative leisure; a concern for family nurture and community cohesion; a certain hostility toward luxury; a belief that the primary reward of work should be well-being rather than money; a certain nostalgia for the supposed simplicities of the past and an anxiety about the technological and bureaucratic complexities of the present and the future; and a taste for the plain and functional." --- JD Belanger, Countryside Magazine
