Oh Nanci K.

I'm so jealous of you. I would love to move farther out.

It sounds like you have a lot of work to do. Is it possible the kids feel
like they are getting the short end of the stick on attention? I read about
a family of homesteaders (wish I could remember their names) and they
divided the day into 4's. Four hours to do chores, four hours to play and
enliven themselves, four hours to make the world a better place. Just a
thoght.

Would this be Helen and Scott Nearing?

This is a coincidence! I just opened an email about a local event that
includes names that people far beyond MA will recognize (Thoreau, Walden
Pond, Paul Stookey) and then see who it's benefiting :-)

(Here's a link to their papers:
