Make Plans

We all have something we're putting off.

There's someone you want to call.
There's someone you've been wanting to have lunch with.
You really need to putty and paint that hole, repair a leak, print those photos, hang them...
You've been putting off rearranging furniture even though it's totally not working.
You cry every time you open the fridge but the thought of cleaning it makes you want to die even though you know you'll be so much happier when it's done.
There's a blog that your supposed to write on a weekly basis but instead you just don't...and you don't have a ton of followers so you think maybe no one will notice but what if there's that one person looking forward to it and now you're a huge jerk...for example.

Anyway!
I've been imaginary planning for hens...for six years. I have a Pinterest board with approximately eleventy-billion chicken articles and coop plans. Plus, a few things about goats, donkeys, and cows but there's only so much you can do with an acre on a steep hill...and my county is notorious for being snobby. Not exaggerating the county ordinances read like an HOA contract.

My goal this week is to create a one year plan to have everything ready for 4 hens next spring.
So far I know I need to:
-Take out $20 every time I use my debit card to save for materials and supplies
-Build or purchase a mobile coop with a removable run . Probably build since I'll be a SAHM next year and I have a million ideas which make for a very expensive pre-made.
-Mail letters to my immediate neighbors requesting permission or denial
-File with the Snob County (ask more permission through 9 pages of paperwork, already printed just so I can read it a few times. I won't need to turn it in until like February so maybe the laws will loosen a bit)
-Pay Fees that are more than the cost of eggs (assuming you shop at Aldi, probably less than Publix)
-Freshen up my veggie gardens so they have some good stuff eat when they arrive

Just some ideas to start.

What will you do this week? Write out/sketch your plan in your journal. No cheating by just making a Pinterest page. Make a page a reality...create a dream board like it's 2002! Call someone, make a special meal, plan a fun activity for tomorrow or this weekend, or just get something annoying checked off that list!

Don't forget to share :)

Go!
