Goals, Dreams, and Notes

November 15, 2009

I've started to keep a list of all the things I want to do and/or learn to do.  The more I read, the more this list seems to grow and its importance in my life increases.  We've recently invested in several new books including The Self-sufficient Life and How to Live It and find them to be quite inspiring.  I read blogs daily about people like us who are doing these things and I can't wait for our chance.   Here's the start of my ever-expanding lists.  Some of these things I've started to tackle one by one but between work and school I haven't had as much time as I'd like. Things to learn/do:

• bee keeping
• canning/preserving (applesauce, salsa, tomatoes, fruit, pickles)
• soap making (body & laundry)
• cheese making (?)
• bread making
• ice cream making
• build a solar oven/dehydrator
• build a clay oven
• grow food year-round
• make my own clothing & bags
• home made pasta
• buy land
• build our own home
• become as self-reliant as possible

Plant in mass on new land:

• bee balm
• lavender
• cosmos
• purple coneflower
• mexican sage
• russian sage

Take clippings/seeds from current house:

• lilac
• ecalyptus
• honeysuckle
• baptisia
