Okay, so the reason why I started this blog is that I need some accountability on my journey and websites do that. Thus, every Monday I will write down a list of goals that I must accomplish by the end of this week.

Here are the goals:

1. Order a bow and target to begin learning how to shoot and hunt.
2. Go to the lake and start learning how to fish.
3. Rip up things in the garden that are not doing well and plant cauliflower, broccoli and spinach
4. Planting peach seeds in pots to begin growing my orchard.

What might cause me difficulty with this list?

Bow and Target

1. I have one buying – hard because I am intimidated by how much money I have been spending. (This is not valid. I have plenty of money.)

Fising

1. I have an old fishing rod in my basement and I don’t know how to set it up. (I can buy new rods at the store and they can give me tips on how to set up the poll and fish.)
2. I need to get a fishing license. (I bought one online.)
3. Now, I need to find a store to buy my fishing rod and all of the things for fishing. At the same time, I could buy a bow and target. (I will go to Dicks and find out how what they recommend.)

Gardening

1. I don’t know if I have to plant them from seeds or seedlings. (It looks like seedlings, but I can’t buy any because it is too late in the season.) I will have to grow them myself and hope that they do okay. Next year, I will have to grow these seedlings in August to plant at the beginning of September.)

Peach Planting

1. I need to go home and plant my peach trees in pots. What is stopping me is that I don’t know if there is anything that I need to add to the soil or can I just us fertilizer and soil. (I just need to buy some potting soil)

Conclusion:

In my research, I started learning about taking care of fruit trees. I now need to go to Dicks and buy some seeds that we can reuse for broccoli and cauliflower.

Update on Progress

I had trouble logging into my website, so this is a bit delayed. What have I done so far?

1. Bought two fishing rods and many things to go fishing.
2. Went fishing

It was crazy. We wen’t fishing right after we bought the rods. Margaret, my 5-year-old caught 3 fish with her Barbie fishing rod. The last fish was a large bass. Message: Megan, don’t worry about this. I have this! Thank you, my Father for that sweet message. I praise you for all that you are doing to help us in this journey.

At Dicks, an associate directed me to an archery place. So, I will go there today. I think it will be fun for me to learn archery. I really have a hard time taking time for myself and I love sports, so this could help me just relax some times.

9/29/22

I think that I went a bit crazy with one week of goals. I tend to be a little over ambitious. That week, however, I did go to Pete’s Archery and found a great bow. Today, I finally purchased it. I will set up my target and begin to shoot. I should be able to do that throughout the fall.

The peach trees have not been planted yet, but I think that will happen this week.
