But how do you work every day, all day in the garden in 98 degree weather and still keep a household of 11 running full steam ahead? Witness the birth of "The Plan" ;)
Credit to Mama and Dad.
Introducing Part 1 of The Plan: we will begin getting up by 6:30 every morning and getting out to the garden by 7:30 or 8:00, having all the animal chores accomplished and breakfast eaten and devotions had by then. Those of us who are out in the garden will work until noon, then take a break in the heat of the day to have a little free-time and indoor projects. Then we'll get back out to it by 3:30 or 4:00, and work until dinner. That doesn't leave much time for housekeeping, does it?
This is where part two comes in: Meet "The House Manager".
Umm...not her. I was picturing something more glamorous. ;)
That's better. :)
Her job description includes making all meals for the day and breakfast for the next, doing all chores, running, hanging and folding laundry, keeping house in other ways, and doing school with Gracie and Abby. We four oldest girls will switch off day to day. Sounds good, huh? :) My first day on this duty is tomorrow.So I don't even know if that topic interests anyone, but you *did* say that you liked hearing about large family things and...well...there are plenty of logistics when you've suddenly turned farmer! -Rachel
