TAKING THINGS SLOW OR FAST

2011 WENT BY REALLY QUICKLY. IT STARTED ON A BAD LUCK STREAK (MY WRECK) AND ENDED PEACEFULLY ENOUGH. THIS YEAR WILL HOPEFULLY BE BETTER ALL AROUND.


OUR GOALS IN 2011 WERE BIG AND SOMEWHAT UNREALISTIC (OR NOT QUITE RIGHT FOR THAT TIME IN OUR LIVES) SO MANY OF THEM HAVE CARRIED OVER TO 2012.


THIS INCLUDES BUILDING THE CHICKEN COOP, OUR HOMEMADE INCUBATOR, AND CONVERTING OUR SHED INTO A FULL TIME PUPPY BUILDING.


WE HAVE NEW GOALS FOR 2012 TOO, BUT WE ARE GOING TO TRY AND TAKE OUR TIME AND NOT FEEL RUSHED AS WE WORK ON THEM...HERE THEY ARE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER...

• FINISH THE CHICKEN COOP
• BUILD THE INCUBATOR AND BROODERS NEEDED FOR THE HATCHED CHICKS
• TURN THE SHED INTO A PUPPY BUILDING
  ie GET THE DOG/PUPPIES OUT OF THE HOUSE!!
• THE HALL BATHROOM
• FLOOR,
• CEILING
• SINK
• WINDOW
• ETC
• HOT WIRING THE FENCE SO THE DOGS WILL QUIT DIGGING OUT!!!
• MOVING THE WASHER AND DRYER INTO THE BASEMENT SO WE CAN FULLY ENJOY OUR LARGE KITCHEN
• BUILDING A BARN AND MORE FENCING FOR THE GOATS, AND EVENTUAL SHEEP
• PLANT MORE FRUIT TREES AND BERRY BUSHES
• APPLES
• PEARS
• PLUMS
• PEACHES
• RASPBERRIES
• BLUEBERRIES
• BLACKBERRIES
• PLAN OUT AND CREATE A LARGE GARDEN TO SUSTAIN NOT ONLY OUR SUMMER NEEDS BUT GROW AND HARVEST ENOUGH TO "PUT UP" FOR WINTER TOO
• LEARN HOW TO CAN, PRESERVE, ETC.
• POSSIBLY TAKE A REAL VACATION??? (THIS IS A PIPE DREAM FOR A GROWING FARM BUT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED AND ENJOYED)
