New Year/New Resolutions

The best way to be successful with your resolutions is to not have any. Instead of resolutions have goals. When you fall from grace 1 time, the resolution is shot. When you make goals, progress can be made toward the end.

Most of last year’s goals for the garden were accomplished. If not completely they were accomplished at least in part. The garden gets better each year. The bambi fence worked well enough that is being replaced with a permanent structure this year. The greenhouse improved a lot. It will be replaced with a new one this year that will be a permanent structure and be located where it will get more light.

About 30 trees were removed last year. To save a little money, the tree man was told he could haul off the marketable lumber and leave the scraps in the yard. That would have pretty dumb if my health had been good. As it turned out my heart got out of rhythm and my work speed and endurance went way down. Almost none of the yard projects got done and the garden was late getting planted. My heart got fixed and all that is behind me now. Projects are winding up almost every week.
