I wish I could humblebrag about how I’m so dedicated and conscientious and whatever but the reality is if I don’t do this (recording how my kids are progressing with their drills and strength/flexibility) I won’t remember where everyone is up to and be able to plan the next sessions accordingly x_x At least it’s fun.

Wannabe Farmstead catchup/reintroduction

Saturday, 31 January 2026 @ 11:05am

It’s been about an aeon or so since I last did a garden journal (last one tagged any thing to do with the garden was bundled in with a homeschooling post from 2013 as the kids helped J plant some stuff during an unexpected communication outage). Quite a bit has changed since then.

First and only very vaguely related because it’s out there, J finally got me a new clothes hoist (the old one is collapsible and the catch to hold it open broke some years back but we were able to make do and it has been collapsing a LOT more frequently recently especially when there was a lot on it). Youngest brought the concrete bags in and had the old one dug out in about ten seconds (only a slight exaggeration), after which he and J erected the new post and left it overnight for the concrete to dry. The following day J got Eldest and I to help put the top on (I didn’t do much) and then he strung it.
