Every once and awhile I go through my "favorites." I have a folder for blogs... some on homeschooling, some on unschooling, some on sustainable living... you get the picture. Somehow, sometime I came across this site http://cockeyed.com/ which is interesting sometimes when I'm in the mood. Today he has a link to http://www.allmylifeforsale.net where a guy is selling all of his possesions on ebay. He was inspired by the original idea at http://allmylifeforsale.com. It is all very, very interesting reading...

Not much going on because we are super busy. We were out of town all weekend. This weekend we MUST get our garden beds ready. We have soccer ... but we still have to get it done. (Hubby isn't much for yard work.)

I did get some more seeds started: tomatoes, etc. My problem is that I don't have a good window where they get direct sunlight as long as they need it??? Maybe I should give up starting seedlings at my home. Maybe I should work towards getting a mini-greenhouse set up... so many ideas, so little time and money.

I planted brocoli, cauliflower, early celery, and onions (two types). I planted three of each except of the onions. I didn't think to look at the celery days to germination because they are paired in my six pack with brocoli... and aren't up yet. I might have to replant them by themselves.

I invested in two seed starter kits from that consists of a large bottom tray for bottom watering and then smaller 6-pack trays that fit on top with a large top to cover it all. My only complaint is that since I'm starting smaller quanities of each plant (for succession planting) that I have all this extra space, etc. Live and learn...

I had a good but busy weekend here. Stephen took off with the youth skiing in WV... about 8 hours away. I had a children's consignment sale to display at while Brandon spent most of his time at Grandmommy's with the exception of Friday when his Granny Hazel stayed here for the day. Thank goodness my business doesn't revolve around shows.

Saturday I received Un-Jobbing by Michael Fogler. It is a good quick read. However, you could study its concepts for decades. My main goal is how to restructure our lives so we can afford to live the way we choose... for me is close to home. We have a 6 year old and hope to adopt within the year or two a 4 year old to infant. In all likely hood, he will be 3-4. This will necessitate me staying close to home even more.

On the home front, I did get hubby to pick up some straw for the season today. I wanted him to ask a local vegetable stand who has 4 rain barrels if we could buy one. I don't see it in the yard so I wonder if hubby forgot to stop by there. Hubby isn't into yardwork or housework. However, he works a lot and I have to support him there.

I've got the boys over today so I've got to catch me a shower, fix supper, and then head out to "do" business tonight.

I've got quite a bit to do today since I'm home (I work two days a week). I've got to do some laundry (hanging clothes to dry in the winter isn't the most fun... it kills my cuticles), get ready for a Cherish Bound gathering for tonight and for a weekend long children's consignment sale that begins tomorrow where I'll be displaying. I also promised to have a felt banner type thing for children's church ready for Sunday and a prayer meditation to turn in... Not to mention the seeds I need to start: onions, cauliflower, brocolli, etc.

I guess I need to get going... Have a great day!

P.S. Does anyone know how to add the calendar to their blog???
