Happy New Year to everyone that has followed along with this
crazy blog! I am humbled that you take
the time to visit The Compound.
Another year has come and gone. I’m happy to say goodbye to 2012, and am
hopeful 2013 will be a better year. Don’t
get me wrong, I haven’t changed my opinion on our country’s financial
standing. I’m hoping for a better
personal year. We had some major
setbacks last year, that don’t need repeating.
At the end of each year I look back at our annual “Must Have and Wish List” to see what we’ve accomplished along the way. I think we did pretty well, all things
considered, with only a few exceptions.
Then I try to lay out a plan for the coming year.
I’m not sure if I still have a holiday hangover of sorts,
but I’m having a hard time coming up with an extensive list. Is it because we’ve accomplished so much
already? Or subconsciously I don’t want
a big list as I’m still tired from 2012?
Anywho, here’s what I have for 2013;
Must Have List
Finish the pump house and reverse osmosis system
Purchase and plant additional blueberry plants
Purchase and plant additional asparagus plants
Build a couple of raised beds; garlic, peas, lettuce, etc
Install chicken wire on the chicken run wall, between the
two areas. Then we’ll be ready for
chicks.
Hatch out more chicks
Become efficient cooking outdoors; dutch oven, outdoor pizza
oven, etc
Continue with archery and weapons training
Wish List
Purchase another shipping container
Build an enclosure for ducks, and get ducks
Learn how to capture and process wild hogs
Dock railing
Try out aquaculture using our Tilapia pond
Now that I look at the list, it doesn’t seem too bad.. What are your major goals for 2013?
