Ok, so my advice sucks but here it is anyway - toh is doing a 180 by finally helping on the farm her H notices and even compliments her about it he asks for her help now he just made a comment that she better be helping if she wants the farm
The trick is to help while not smothering him. That's like walking a balance beam. Just try to be there when he asks and make yourself scarce the rest of the time.
About the food and cooking - the way it's worded is huge. Don't ask if he is coming in to eat. Just say something like - food will be ready at 6pm if you'd like something.
So sorry to hear about the young man that died. It does make you think about how short life is and what to do about living the rest of it.
toh, it is up to you to decide when you've had enough. Have you made your list of pros and cons?
Anything new on your court action?
How's the fall harvest yield?
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
