Just thought I'd throw out there some of the stuff I'll be working on in 2012:
1. Blog book tour - The month of January, a bunch of blogs will be participating in my blog book tour for The Non-Toxic Avenger. I'll be posting a list of participants tomorrow as well as links and updates plus reviews, interviews, excerpts and more as they get posted. I'm also continuing my radio and TV interview campaign as well as book signings and will post those when the are up online or otherwise available.
2. Working on my next book - I'm going to be wrapping up my book on pioneer living in the city this spring, so you can look forward to seeing that one on the shelves (digital or otherwise) this fall.
3. Getting more chickens - My husband and family are game for adding a few more chickens to the menagerie. This time, rather than getting pullets, we'll be getting chicks so hopefully this next batch is a little more human friendly.
4. Front lawn edible landscaping - We've been thinking of doing this for a while now and I'm hoping that we get it going in 2012. We have a huge front lawn that is just begging to be replaced with edibles.
5. More urban farming - I want to up our game when it comes to producing food in the city. I don't think bees are in our immediate future, but maybe this year we'll get on that honey CSA instead. I also want to get more involved in learning processing of rabbits and chickens.
6. Blog more consistently - I felt like 2011 had a bunch of bald spots when it came to posting and that I relied on Facebook more instead. I can't guarantee anything, but I'm going to try!
What about you? What are you planning on doing in 2012?
Check out my new book, The Non-Toxic Avenger: What You Don't Know Can Hurt You, available from Amazon.
I'm hosting an online Book Club starting in February. Check out the schedule here!

3 Crunchy Thoughts:
We bought day-old Red Star chicks in early September, and that's the route we'll go again when we want more.
All three of us handled them frequently from when they were quite young until they were about 2 months old. Nowadays, my hubby does the wing-clipping and other hands-on stuff, and several of the gals will let him scratch their heads. I don't handle them anymore but I do feed & water them, and let them in & out of their pen, and they're pretty comfortable around me.
It's a blast and then some watching them grow from day-old chicks (well, three days old by the time we received them). Highly recommended!
Since I have absolutely NO interest in a "little house on the prairie" life, and a huge interest in sharing time with my grand (soon to be grands), I'll be removing this site from my bookmarks.
I'm sure you played a huge role in my environmental interests through the past several years, so thank you very much for that. Best wishes for your future and that of your family. Till we meet again.
Good question. I'm not very good at making resolutions of any sort at any time because I never keep them anyway but there are a couple of things I hope to do.
I am currently involved in a 2 year programme in Spiritual Direction and my reading has led me to think there are a couple of things I would like to try and do: one is living more consciously with an attitude of thanksgiving and gratitude - not just for the good things in my life but for the hard times as well because I have, and continue, to learn as much, if not more, from the hard times as the good times.
I would also like to spend more time in solitude in nature to see what lessons I can learn there.
