It seems that we are still catching up on milk. Yesterday we made a parmesan. Today we make a romano. Tomorrow we'll make a cheddar. We know that Christina's production will decrease, so now is the time to be making all this cheese. Later we won't have the milk.
The pumpkin is going to be a four day project. Yesterday we cleaned and baked. Today we scooped, pureed, and froze. Two full pans of fruit yielded about seven quarts of stuff for the freezer (each quart will make four pies). Tomorrow we'll repeat.
Our homeschool calendar is year-round. We take breaks as they suit us, not trying to match the public schools. Our labor-intensive living combined with teaching and correcting work takes a tole on me. We have been going seven weeks straight and our next break isn't for another two weeks. I hope I can make it. I used to conveniently get sick every time I needed a break, but this clean living of ours doesn't provide much sickness.
