BD6CTNZJQEB8 I surprised a friend the other day by revealing that I am a multi-project person. My head is constantly filled with plans. It drives Alex bonkers sometimes and I have been accused of not being spontaneous, but that's just who I am. I can't help it - I like having things to look forward to.

Here are just a few things in the works at Hound central:

Installing and learning to use wood stove
Painting living room and upstairs landing
Removing deck, building backyard stairs
Building two or three new garden beds in deck vacated area
Making a stone patio
Deciding on which kind and age of chickens
Building a coop for said birdies
Hosting garden tours
Planning workshops for spring equinox, container building, jam making
Spring break vacay to Chincoteague
August Canada canoe trip
And, of course, the ever present FINISH the kitchen (only trim and we're done!)

I think it's good to scheme in the winter. My next Grow Your Garden post will be all about planning a new garden. There isn't much real work to be done now, so it's the perfect time to read, study, and make plans.
