Winter Project List

Sunday, December 1, 2019 0:02

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

In the past we’ve always done an annual goal list. I post it on January 1st and wrap up the year with a review post on how well we met those goals. This year, we seem to have fallen into a different pattern. Maybe it’s because Dan is retired now, or maybe it reflects a shift in the kinds of project we do. Mostly, I think it’s because our lives are more in sync with the seasons; everything seems to revolve around that. Everything we do fits into the pattern of the agrarian cycle I’ve blogged about.

Spring: March, April, May – season of planting
Summer: June, July, August – season of growing
Autumn: September, October, November – season to harvest
Winter: December, January, February – season of the hearth

This year we’ve started doing quarterly project lists instead of an annual one. The other day, we got out our notebook and made a winter project list. Here’s what’s on it.

Solar porch project

build battery box
install batteries
connect batteries
move freezer
new chest freezer → convert to chest fridge

Garden

dig two more swale beds
cover and mulch main aisles
do something with that weedy corner!!!

Workshop

fix the back gutter → rain tank?

Trees

cut old pecan tree in the goat corral
cut down dead dogwood in front yard
limb out trees shading pasture
cut and remove fallen pines
chipping

Fencing

better (stronger) subdivision of buck pastures
start repair in browse areas

House

front porch trim
finally replace windows in front bedroom

Root cellar?

where?
dig out old swimming pool & evaluate
form a plan

Greenhouse?

where?
monitor winter sun in potential locations
dig out crepe myrtles
cut back bushes

We prioritize and choose projects according to the weather. But winter can go either way for us; it can be either mild or miserable. There’s no way to predict that, so except for finishing the solar pantry project, everything else on the list is flexible. Still, it’s nice to have a written list of things to do in case the weather is cooperative. Dan, especially, is not one to sit around, so I suspect quite a bit of this will get checked off no matter what the weather does. ðŸ˜€
