while i started the year with such high hopes the blog fell by the wayside again! i am terrible at this apparently. but while i still don't have a "direction" in mind for my blog i have realized a few things lately....
1) i have a serious disease. i have barnheart. if this means nothing to you, sorry. if it means something to you, welcome to the club. i have always enjoyed gardening and producing my own food etc and last year i put in a 16x16 ft garden and got some potatoes, special non-ripening tomatoes (lol), green onions, some beans and peas. oh and one teensy tiny head of broccoli. so this year i have been researching. i will be ready this year and will be revamping the layout etc. so look out groundhog, i'm going to be super ready for your tricks this year.
2) on the topic of barnheart, i will be acquiring some lovely laying hens from a friend and co-worker. she has too many for her liking currently and why not start with some guaranteed layers right? perhaps i will add a few chicks and maybe a handful of meat bird chicks as well farther into the spring when i have everything established. so that's a main project for this spring - coop building!
3) my house. it's under renovations. our siding is nonexistent currently it's just the insulation board so there's outside stuff and inside stuff to keep us busy, and far too long and boring to list here.
4) on top of that i will be working two jobs soon. the one i currently have is full time occasionally when we're busy enough and the other is my "summer" job from last year. so labelled because it depends heavily on tourism and lets face it not many cottagers come up this way in the cold winters we have.
so i will be negotiating my way through 2 pretty much full time jobs for the majority of the spring/summer/fall as well as working on the house and raising (sort of) some chickens! at some point in there i'd love to see my friends and family as well as go camping, do crafts, sit on the beach (or my deck) in the sun with some cider.
now i'm definitely not trying to sound like i'm complaining, i am very thankful for everything. i'm just trying so hard not to overwhelm my mind with it all before pretty much any of it has happened. i'm bad for that.
on a new topic i have kept this blog pretty uninformative on myself personally. at arms length as it were. i think some of it was because if there was no information about me personalizing it then it wouldn't matter as much if someone i knew found it. not that i'm worried about anything i write on here, it's just sometimes nice to have an outlet, ya know? needless to say i will probably be expanding into my self on here letting you guys (laugh! who?) see what's going on in my life as i know it.
and sorry again no pictures!
