Welcome 2011

A new year. These days just seem to fly past me. It seems like the past 10 years have just ripped right along. Where did all the time go? The passing of the seasons makes me start to think about the coming year, what I want to do this year. Already I'm starting to plan the gardens and the livestock situation. I've brought in a trio of meat rabbits, Californians to be precise. I want to see about some chicks for meat this year, but also would like to get out my incubator again this year. The gosling hatch last year was a lot of fun and quite successful really, over 50% hatch rate. I don't know what to hatch this year though... turkeys? chickens? goslings? something else entirely? I don't know yet.

I would like to get my shed built this year, it's been sitting on the porch for 3 years now, just waiting. I want to replace all my metal pans in the rabbitry with plastic too. I want to straighten up the inside and outside of my home so that it is more presentable. I want to find a bunk bed that will work for my youngest pair and arrange their room so that it will fit! I would like to have all the children sleeping in their own beds by the end of this year!

A lot to do, and only a year in which to do it!
