New Year's Resolutions

1. Open boxes from move since 2005.

2. Sell and donate content of boxes.

3. Spend more time in the garden. Buy and plant that Madrone Tree baby.



From Wiki

'The Pacific Madrone (Arbutus menziesii), is a species of arbutus found on the west coast of North America, from British Columbia (chiefly Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands) to California (mainly in the Puget Sound, Oregon Coast Range and California Coast Ranges but also scattered on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains). It becomes rare south of Santa Barbara County, with isolated stands south to Palomar Mountain, San Diego County and northern Baja California, Mexico. It is also known as the Madroño, Madroña, Bearberry, or Strawberry Tree. In British Columbia it is simply referred to as Arbutus. Its species name was given it in honour of the Scots naturalist Archibald Menzies who noted it during George Vancouver's voyage of exploration.'

8. Learn to make a good pie crust from scratch - for this I will require my friend Barbara's culinary expertise - she makes a mean crust.

9. Finish sanding, painting Mid Century hutch.

Hope all your New Year's Resolution come to fruition.
