Winter Prep, Week 1

Well, kids and I have been working hard in the garden every day this week. Taking dead plants out of garden beds, moving the potato patch to a new spot; harvesting potatoes, lemon cukes, figs, tomatoes, herbs…

And of course a whole lot of weeding!

The kids have been great helpers, but my body is sore and ready for a rest! Thank you, Lord for bringing us the weekly Shabbat, so that we may rest from our labor and be refreshed by your goodness!

Got one whole side of the garden done far as weeding and cleaning up, will be adding some compost to a couple beds and the inground section in the next day or two. And we cleaned up the flower beds along the back fence and the herb garden area.

This coming week we’ll be weeding and cleaning up the beds on the other side of the garden, and finalize prepping for overwintering some plants, harvest more herbs, and top up garden beds at that end with fresh compost and top soil.

Do I still Do Photography?

Why, yes! yes I do! But, I do it for me!

I kinda got burned out doing it as a business. All the advertising, photographing, post processing, editing, burning, deadlines… and then my babies being sick or teething,or growth spurt and just needing mom…

It just all got to be WAY more than I could handle. I was stressed out, my customers were unhappy cause of missed deadlines… it wasn’t fair to anybody.

So now, I mainly do photography on my own time, for me. Without deadlines, and without clients most the time.

I still accept clients, but I mostly wait for them to come to me, rather than me actively advertising and searching out clients.

Now, I’m back! I’m back to enjoying photography as my art form again! And it’s SO good!

I’ve done a couple weddings, some family photos, but majority of whats on my computer are just pix of my little girls growing up and having adventures. And those are what I love to see the most!
