In the mean time, for those who are interested, I have started a new blog sharing photos, stories, and my thoughts regarding my recent trip to Guatemala and the well that we were blessed to be able to provide (through the generous gifts of many)in memory of my son Joshua.
If you would like to follow the new blog, you can do so by clicking on the link Joshua's Well.
Thank you to all who have faithfully followed me here, some of you for several years. For farm updates, until I am able to make a decision on the blog, you can join us on facebook.

I know what you mean. I initially started my blog as my personal journal and there are so many days I'm not motivated to do anything. I certainly don't lead an interesting life so many other folks. But it's my story. I always remember it's really for me anyway not to keep others entertained.
I linked to your blog from 14 Acres I believe.
I don't know what or how to say it, I just read about your son. With tears.
I lost my son when he was 11 after open heart surgery at 8 and doing great and then coming down with Bright's disease at 9. 18 hospitalizations and 20 months later he was gone. So we share a grief. More awesome than can be explained.
I have survived and it has been 29 years now. I won't say life is better, it just continues for us here on earth.
After he died I dreamed horrible dreams for years. I was always reaching out to hug him, but could never quite reach him, and I would wake up crying and sobbing. Then after about 11 or 12 years of those dreams I had one where he actually came running up to me and jumped into my arms and hugged me. I woke up crying from love and relief. Finally
I miss him. I don't dream of him as much, but I have gotten to hug him more. Some days go by and I don't think of him. 1 or 2 or 3 days go by and I realize I haven't thought of him and I cry cause I don't ever want to forget him.
To go back to why I posted. I have made some small quilts. Could you tell me how I could get them to the orphanage. That is where they are supposed to be I think. Now I know why I did them for real.
I will miss your farm news and recipe's but understand how busy you must be. So sorry about your son though, thats a pain I'm not sure I could live though.
Tammy, know that you are not alone. I've heard comments from so many others, lately, about having that same sense of overwhelm - including myself. Just go with your heart when it comes to deciding what to move forward with - as well as what things you should let go. It's all that any of us CAN do when life becomes a handful.
