Written Goals are such a good starting point to at least try and direct the coming time.

Miss R and I have the same tracking and thought journals and we are enjoying finding a time (perhaps not daily) to work on them. We are also sharing the cooking and i must say that its delightful to hand over the kitchen and or meal planning to such a creative mind.

I took the goal list for 2022 done on our 50th year and used it as the starting point for this post.

They say that you should pick a word for the year. I very much want a Hygge house, garden, farm and year.

What does that mean you say.. it means good food, use the pretty dishes, buy the good coffee and tea, drink it out of the good tea cup or the big pottery mug with soft lap blanket with purrpot or puppy snuggled in while listening to music, or reading a book or gathering around the table for games night or card games or watching a movie together, outdoor gathered by the fire, walks down the garden paths and picnic’s..

• Spend as much time in as many ways to enjoy and strengthen with continued active communication with Dear Hubby and in our overall household. The above really goes for everyone in my life that matters to me in different degrees..
• Continue to work on different health issues within our household, some of which are stable an or improving and some which are currently not stable and are actively requiring care, surgery and treatment plans at this time. Ideally i would like to end the year in a full stable health place for the whole household.
• Live, Love and Work with the land/farm.. Expand the plantings, working the current gardens, work the food forests, Meat, Milk, Eggs, Fruit, Veggies, Herbs and Medical Plantings..
• Work on creating spots within the food forest, the kitchen garden and park garden that are both use for photography and for company.
• Blog, Ok really i am paying for the blog and will continue to do so as long as i can afford it as there is a huge wealth of knowledge and i can see that every single day so many find and read posts but i really need to make a effort to write new posts, share photos and recipes and so on
• Feed the birds in winter, continue to create haven on our farm for the wild birds
• Continue support my gardens that have active breeding programs for my natives bees So MANY BEES

• Replace, Repair, Rebuild in regards to continued farm/land/pasture needs. Drylot the horses again this coming spring and do a full reseeding and close off of some small sections of the pastures, clear the pastures carefully enough that i can use the big lawn mower to cut down and mulch for the soil health anything that the horses do not eat that the sheep would.
• Photography, while i will continue to offer it for clients, i would like to also try and continue to do at least one passion project per month for the joy of it

• Finish the kitchen to get my certification even more then i have now
• Teach small classes again on all kinds of homesteading things
• Host small classes, in the past year i have tree pruning and propagation including tree grafting courses offered here with me acting as the host.
• Cut down trees to cut/stack for firewood, plant more tree babies for future fence posts and firewood
• Would really like to do more fishing this year

• Travel?? hmm maybe some short trips for my girlfriends and ideally at least one girl trip, otherwise no real travel plans for this year, its a stay at home year really.
