2008 - Happy New Year!

I'm really looking forward to this year as we complete some of our projects and move forward with some of the goals we've had from the beginning. So I'm making a little to-do list and we'll review this again at the end of the year. Here goes:

- complete barn #1 - we have a few more doors to put in, the sidiing is almost complete and then we can paint. The exterior should be finished by summer.
- complete fencing - the perimeter is just about finished, so now moving on to partitioning off our fields for our animals.
- purchase animals - we're hoping to have a few cows and goats on the property by summer.
- add to the orchard - we'll be planting more trees and berries this spring in hopes of harvest on the plants from last year.
- improve the fields - we are planning on fertilizing the fields to enrich the grasses for the animals.
- plan for barn #2 - this barn will be used primarily for hay storage and animal maintenance.

So check with me in December and I'll let you know if we met our goals.
