52 Things

I'm just starting to feel like (after two years of grad school) I'm about to get my life back. Of course, I'll be looking for a part-time job and I have a full-time job here on the farm so time will still be limited, but I won't have deadlines and trips to the city and long lists of assignments and readings. My thesis should be finished in the next few months, and then I can really reclaim my life.

With this in mind I've been thinking about the last two years (and feeling like they are lost forever...years). I've been thinking about reclaiming a year and I've been stuck on the number 52.

Here are some things I would like to do:

Identify 52 birds, butterflies, plants, flowers, and trees at Owl Tree Farm
Try 52 new recipes
Read 52 books
Watch 52 movies
Piece 52 Farmer's Wives blocks
Create/Finish 52 handmade items
Give myself 52 hours of yoga
