Finding Balance: Family Time

As I write this blog I’m sitting outside in the dark, well almost fully dark, so my two youngest kids  could see the sunset and then see the fireflies across the yard.

The men of the family are out in our fields doing farm work, although how they can see to do anything is beyond me. Trucks and tractors moving around as they navigate across the paddocks. I know they are working on hay. What is left, anyway. With all the rain we have been getting, they have gotten to it way late. I don’t know how much of it is still good.

My oldest two kids are inside being teenagers. Playing their games and chatting with friends. Yelling my name every other minute to show me what’s new with this or that, and just keeping me in the know.

I love my family.

This is us. We are them.
