The Year of Playing Catch-Up

We are nearing the end of November.  When did that happen?  It seems like just yesterday I was posting about the newly planted garden.  Seems I have plenty of thyme, but not plenty of time.
I often wonder how people manage to make regular blog posts, Facebook posts, Tweets, follow things on Pinterest, etc.  I dare not even create a Pinterest account...

Shortly after the first of the year, I was running behind & have been running that same race all year.
To recap the summer, while some things in the garden did well, others didn't.  Scored some Tidwell's peaches & our blueberries yielded a decent harvest.  Here's the final tally in the larder:

• Canned:  43 quarts of green beans, 6 quarts of tomato sauce, 12 pints of Kosher dill pickles, 18 pints of lime pickles, 44 half-pints of peach butter, 20 pints of peach syrup
• Frozen:  28 quarts of yellow squash, 8 quarts of blueberries, 8 half-pints of roasted red peppers, 12 quarts of pink banana pumpkin/squash
• Dried:  a pound of cayenne peppers

I think I'm finally at the point were I can take a few deep breaths before it starts all over again. However, I'm mapping out some potential improvements on paper.  For starters, I am going to be more specific with scheduling my tasks.  Only time will tell if this will be effective (there's that pesky 'time' thing again).

I promise you (and myself) to do a better job.
Promise yourself to take time to be Down To Earth!
