Simple Life

My life is so busy!  I drive all of my family around since Steve broke his right ankle back in May.  I am ready to slow down and have a simplier life.  There are so many things I want to do to make life simplier that it actually makes it more hectic to make it simplier!  What is up with that.
I am going to try to build an enclosed garden this fall.  The weather is still too warm to take on this project and I wonder if I was to hold a garden raising who would come.  Is there still a community out there that would come and volunteer for such a thing?  How about a barn raising?  I am not talking about a huge Amish barn but a smaller barn.  I live on one acre and would like to try to achieve sustainability.  Garden, cow, chickens, etc.  I am sure all of this will take a few years.  Until then I will be dreaming of a simplier life!
