Here is the second of the guaranteed yearly blog posts, where I compare what we accomplished of last years goals with our goals for this year. I know this one is a little later than normal (we are 4 months into the year already, can you believe it?!) But we accomplished a lot last year, and I’m excited to see what we get done this year!

Our Biggest Goal Last Year

We were hoping to get the new cabin fixed up and moved into. One thing we did was camped here during the summer while we worked on it, and finished it out enough to live at over the winter! We will officially be living here full time for a year in May! It’s still a construction zone and has lots of projects we are still working on, but I consider this goal from 2022 complete.

Goal #2 Water

We were hoping to a rainwater catchment system set up, and that did not happen. But all in all, that’s totally okay because we got water another way. We found a natural spring on the property that has continued running all winter long. I’d say goal #2 was accomplished, since we did have water all winter without needing to haul it from the creek.

Goal #3 Garden and Greenhouse

We had a tiny test garden that did wonderfully, and planted some apple trees and perennials last year. No high tunnel though. This goal will be moved to 2023!

Goal #4 Animals

I was hoping to get some ducks last year, and that didn’t happen. But my ducks will be arriving this year in June. That’s one goal that I know will be accomplished for 2023.

Other Goals For 2023

Along with the goals for a garden, greenhouse and animals moving to this years list, we also have goals to complete our solar set up and finish more of the cabin interior. We have all of the parts for solar finally, as we purchased bits and pieces as we could afford too.If I get really lucky I might even start gathering stuff to get bees (affiliate link) in 2024!

There are a million tiny projects that will be going on around all those big 2023 goals, but things are moving forward at this new cabin, and we love living out here!
