What's on my pod, what's in my ear...

What are YOU knee deep in?

September 2, 2008

Someone called me the other day and asked what I was up to.

“Well, “  said I while harvesting in the garden after drenching rains and then sudden, muggy sunshine,

“I’m knee deep in tomatoes and okra right now.”  So there you have it.  What I am KNEE DEEP IN is the point of this blog.

I wasn’t sure how I wanted to kick off this new blogventure, but thoughts of digital fireworks, page view prizes and flash animations of my donkey doing the macarena were going through my mind.  As usual, I’ve got to rethink, restrategize and work with the deadline over entertainment so I’ll be breaking into the page about the Great Education Race (A.K.A. home education) with some product reviews I promised to The Old Schoolhouse Magazine.  I am in one of their new focus groups and will be doing reviews homeschooling products.

BUT, (it’s at this point, Little Man, my gruff five year old, would say, “MOOOOM!! You said a bad word….can I say it now?”) let me tell you what to expect here.

  • Dirty dishes
  • dirty laundry
  • dirty diapers

oh, sorry, no that’s my To Do  list.  Umm, I hope to have some DIY help for the farm (BarnYard Tea up there) and garden life (button for mators and okra), to have updates on the Etsy stores, page comment prizes, home schooling helpfuls and product reviews,  education contests and regarding Peter’s steps (look up to the top, see the footprints in the sand???) I don’t have a plan for.  I am spiritually hoping  I can somehow serve God with this blog or involving this blog, but its not in concrete how and I am testing waters (putting out the lamb’s wool so to speak) and leaving that open.  I doubt the donkey doing the macarena would serve that purpose but hey, God seems to like involving donkeys in his plans…
