Having something to say and writers block..

Gosh! I have so many things going through my head right now and can't get a single one out! I don't know if that is really writers block, but it sure is frustrating! Maybe if I just keep typing out my thoughts it will miraculously organize itself! I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes I make and don't catch...still haven't found the dang spell check. So, I made my "Preps To Get" list and my "2012 Projects to Do" list. I'm not discouraged exactly, just a bit overwhelmed. It's amazing when you try to put down a years worth of goals, you realize how much work is involved! I have limited energy and my husband has limited time, so now it's a matter of prioritizing how to get these things done. Do we hire someone? Do we just slog along and get done what we can? Instead of building something on the list do we buy it? I guess we'll hammer out the gritty details of these things, it's all part of the goal setting proccess. In the garden, we have realized that in order to progress our plans more, we will need to hire a brush hog and get an over grown field cleared. We don't have many fields at all here, only woods and somewhat cleared woods. This had been cleared a year or two before we moved in here and rapidly grew into a blackberry field and then a field of shrubby young trees. It would be the "orchard" expansion area. Sounds fancy, but really, it's just a small field (potentially) and will be home (hopefully) to the last of the fruit trees we want to get (another on the "list"). We do not generally have water issues up here, which is good, but there is always a first time for everything. This field is too far away from our water sources to pipe water to, and hauling would be a real issue as well. We could go for that natural "let nature take care of it" type of thinking, but this will be food forthe family and somewhat expensive trees as well. I'm thinking that a small lean-to type shed to hold tools for that garden area with a tin roof that we can collect water in a barrel might be the answer. The other big thing on the list is the new workshop for the husband...we/he really needs this, but I think if we are going to all the trouble to do this, we should do other things to the location as well...like move the chicken coop up there while we have the equipment. We are, in essence, expanding our back yard with this new workshop. Cutting back trees to create the space, so why not make it big enough to handle a few other outbuildings at the same time? Just thinking out loud here (lol). I have so many ideas for blog articles I want to write as well. What do you all want to hear me ramble on about? As you can tell, some days I am all over the place, some days I'm focused. I think that's life and that is what this blog is about...my life, but then I don't have to read it so I thought I'd ask. I have a real urge to teach, especially preparedness, but I did start this just as a journal. GAH! See, I'm all over the place this week. At any rate, share in the comments what direction you'd like me to go in, if you have an opinion! I'll try and come up with something concrete later in the week.
