Instead of resolutions, I set goals for myself. Do I always achieve them? Not always, but I do make progress.
Anyone else have some goals in mind for this year?
I have a couple goals for this coming year and may add more.
1. I am going to plant many more seedlings this year and with a friend of mine, we are planning on having seedling sales in the spring. Tomatoes, peppers, basil, cabbage, and more. I planted a lot of seedlings a couple years ago and gave them away to many people. My whole purpose was to practice for growing seedlings to sell. She and I will each have a weekend at our homes, and then we will do online sales on social media. She lives around 10 miles from me, so having different locations will help.
2. Continuation of restoration of the upper level of my entry way/stairway. It took me one summer to do the lower level, first floor a few years ago. It also involved lots of suffering with carpal tunnel, pilates classes, and chiropractor visits. Scraping walls is hard on the body. House was built 130 years ago with plaster walls, wallpapered several times, a layer of some finish was put on (about 1/8 inch thick), layers of paint, and then pieces falling off here and there. Back stairs need the same thing, upper level, but that is secondary to the front stairs.
3. Continuation of going through everything, deep cleaning, organization, purging, labeling, closets, drawers, cabinets. I made great progress last year, but I do have a ways to go.
4. Working on amending a couple garden beds and planting perennials (vegetables and edibles).
5. Adding to my notebook of my home and property. Adding sketches and drawings of measurements of things like garden beds, windows, rooms, infrastructure. It is an ongoing work in progress.
