As I wiped the sweat from my brow at 7:30 am I realized that this is the first summer I've farmed by myself...and our biggest harvest to date...And I can't do it alone!
I'm not looking for sympathy or for anyone to 'fix' anything... just gotta get it out so I can move forward.
My refrigerator overfloweth & the island & dinging room table are FULL of produce that need washed & chilled & taken care of.
EVERYTHING outside needs watered & I gots 2 sprinklers running already.
The peas & radishes & green beans & squashes need to be pulled...beds cleaned out... & replanted.
The tomatoes still need teepees made & set & one tomato bed sorely needs weeding.
And the temperatures are mid-90's with super high dewpoints.
I'm now growing MOLD on numerous plants.
Then... we gots laundry that is behind, beds that need changing, bathrooms that are nearly toxic, & dust & pet hair taking over the house.
Not to mention a kid who needs attention & healing, 2 dogs that need baths & attention, litter boxes to clean & who knows what else.
I can't even imagine finding time & energy to actually sell any produce & the 'farmer's market' that I was excited about now feels more like a thorn in my side.
That's just the 'short list'...things that have to be done NOW. I could go on for days about all the other things that need done...

What energy and experiences can we expect collectively in April 2008?
Two images will help describe the energy of this month. The first is the feeling of being jolted forward in the way that occurs on a train that suddenly started moving. There is a new acceleration available that is similar to the energy of last summer. It feels like the train is speeding up. Whatever you have in your life will start moving faster in April. This will be a huge relief for some of you and may be unnerving for others. Just as if you were rushing to board the train before you feel ready, if you do not have everything gathered together yet you may feel a little flustered when things start moving. Your response to the acceleration will depend on how centered you have been able to become during the course of March. The acceleration is not in any particular direction; your experience will be wholly dependent on the intentions you have set for your individual lives. Know that whatever you have begun will streamline itself in April. A lot of the work you have all done in the last four to six months to understand yourselves better, to take accountability for yourselves, and to let go of what stands in your way is now going to really begin to...
