herbs

I am hoping to grow an herb garden this year and I am trying to find a good book on how to grow and use them. I am wanting to have a medicinal herb garden and a kitchen herb garden so that I can use herbal remedies and also cook with fresh herbs. I am really excited about this. I am also hoping to find a good resource on learning about essential oils and how to use them as remedies. I would like to never take another medicine again. This is one of my New Year goals. I will keep you up to date on my blog about how this new journey is going for me.

Yesterday I planted some grass in a container in my kitchen. I am hoping to grow it go be able to feed my rabbits fresh grass in the winter time. If it works out well then I am going to start it earlier next year because I think I did it kind of late this year and might not have it ready before we have fresh grass clippings to give them.

On New Year's eve I found a litter of kits in the rabbit house!! It was so exciting. My husband used to raise rabbits and it was cool when they had babies but he gave up raising them. I decided a few months ago to get my own meat rabbits to raise in a colony setting and this is my first litter!! Yay!! There are 2 black ones and 3 white and black ones. I cant wait until they are a little older and are cute and fluffy and hopping around the box.

Another of my New Year's goals is to get all of our past bills paid up within the next 2 years. I need to sit down today and figure out how much we have to pay a month to get them paid off. It will be so nice to be debt free. We are also planning to put a new well in, Lord willing I will never be without water again. :)

Wishing everyone a fantastic 2012!!
