HeidiLogic is three years old! Yay!
(Well actually yesterday but hey, the baby is teething again, hand usage is limited.)
I feel like I didn’t do a great job blogging in 2010. I suppose with a new baby and two other kids, trying to recover from birth and my dad[‘s death still and “starting” homeschooling I did kinda have my hands full. This year I envision a little more time blogging. More time in the garden and outside. More playing with the kids and more fun. Not that this last year wasn’t fun, but it was busy. Very busy. If nothing else just emotionally busy.
I am so excited about this next year! DH and I have been talking the last couple of days about what we want to do with it. We’ll be able to garden in our own garden this year! It’s been three and a half years since we moved back to Minnesota and this year will be the first we get our very own garden. We’re going to plant our asparagus and a patch of strawberries, along with potatoes and some other annuals like lettuces and tomatoes and peppers. We’re going to start planting fruit producing trees and bushes. So in two years time we’ll be starting to harvest more then just annuals.
We’re going to add on to the chicken coop this year and hopefully make some runs so the chickens can get more grass and range. I’m going to try raising broilers for myself and we’ll be building a bigger PVC chicken tractor for them so that I can move it all by myself. With luck we’ll be investing in rabbits this year and will start a colony. It’s probably only start with three (1 buck and 2 does) but who knows how large and fast it will grow. More meat, manure and a wonderful addition to our farm (I hope).
I have been blissfully dreaming about what we’ll be doing on the farm this year. I know I will be doing all kinds of other things as well. Working on the house, visiting friends, hiking, camping, knitting, and maybe even taking a road trip to California for the first time in over two years.
My wish for you is that your 2011 is glorious and bright!
Happy New Year Everyone!
