the busy season
I have called this the busy season. Every spring at this time, Kevin leaves to a work related conference, and every year at this time several other things happen:
the basement floods,
marking is due at the College, and
there will be some sort of sickness had by someone in the family, this year it is Kevin's mom. She usually comes and stays with me while Kevin is gone to help out with the mopping up, and general chores around the homestead. At least it sure seems like a homestead. The well needs to be dug out. Silt has fill in the reservoir. The old vehicles need work, the banisters are falling apart, did I say the basement was leaking? Oh ya, I did. There is a logging truck load of wood coming at some point in the next 2 weeks. Kevin bought it so that we would have all the wood we need for the next 2 years. I am SURE it will come when he is gone. As with everything, this will pass, but it sure seems heavy at times.

Don't you just love acreage living? It kind of reminds me of the movie "Money Pit". On an acreage the house and yard costs money, the well costs money, the septic costs money, the cars cost more to maintain because your driving them more. There are days I can relate to people who live in condos. But then reality sets in and I realise that I move out in the country to be away from neighbours, not be closer.
I hope things settle down and all the bad things turn out for the good.
