Home-grown harvest

This is a great time of year to live on the farm. I made two batches of raspberry jam on Tuesday. We have green beans, onions, peppers, cucumbers and zuchinni. Grapes, tomatoes and potatoes come in September. The apples are turning red.













The wheat is almost ready for harvesting. The farmer combined a sample to check for moisture and protein yesterday. If it is warm and sunny today, he may start this afternoon. He has one week before we make the college run to Grand Forks. Then it is back to business.

My schedule is heavy this time of year with physicals and immunizations. I am getting better at the computer record but have not yet had it customized for my practice. The others need to settle in first.

Lots of change coming, with two physicians leaving and a gap before the next set can come. I have to set aside my emotional feelings about my jobs, and not take the ups and downs personally. I realized I cannot stand in the gap and make everything good. I can do my part and let the rest do their part. I am not in control. (Really? This is news?)
