It never ceases to amaze me how busy life can be.  I so desire to be at home more, but I don't know how to accomplish it!  I have certain responsibilities that, well, I must leave the house to do! Like grocery shopping, taking the dog to the vet, working in our homeschool book store, going to Bear's baseball games etc.  I know one reason I feel so overwhelmed is that currently my house is cluttered, most specifically our school room and kitchen!  The clutter makes my mind feel chaotic!  If only  I could tackle the clutter I might not feel so overwhelmed.  I go through phases where I do declutter and it feels and looks so good, but somehow the clutter finds its way back! How do I change my ways with this?  I am feeling hopeless and like I may never get "organized."

In spite of my feeling overwhelmed, we still live life around here!  My husband started a garden about a month ago.  Then he decided we needed to fence in the garden so the dogs and our 4 yo couldn't get to it.  Our back yard is humongous and my DH just took over this one corner.  Now we need to figure out what to do with the rest of the yard!

Here is a picture of the fence in progress:

The fence is done, but I just realized I haven't taken an "after" photo.  LOL  Oh well, here are pictures of the garden:

Also new at the homestead is a PUPPY!  Here is "Diesel" with my husband: Aren't they cute????

Here is the puppy waiting for his food.  LOL
