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:
- Order a bow and target to begin learning how to shoot and hunt.
- Go to the lake and start learning how to fish.
- Rip up things in the garden that are not doing well and plant cauliflower, broccoli and spinach
- Planting peach seeds in pots to begin growing my orchard.
What might cause me difficulty with this list?
Bow and Target
- 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
- 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.)
- I need to get a fishing license. (I bought one online.)
- 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
- 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
- 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?
- Bought two fishing rods and many things to go fishing.
- 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.
