A good woman is hard to find,
and worth far more than diamonds.
Her husband trusts her without reserve,
and never has reason to regret it.
Never spiteful, she treats him generously
all her life long.
She shops around for the best yarns and cottons,
and enjoys knitting and sewing.
She's like a trading ship that sails to faraway places
and brings back exotic surprises.
She's up before dawn, preparing breakfast
for her family and organizing her day.

Those are great goals. We did raised beds this fall, and I can't wait to plant in them this spring. We also planted grapes and it's great. You must do it! We bought ours from Gurneys. Very healthy plants! I look forward to reading about your drip irrigation. That is something still on my list.
Admirable goals...especially making socks!
I plan on making my own Hungarian sausage and venison salami. Got two great recipes and will soon give it a try!
I wish I could learn to knit. I think in mostly 2D which is why I like to quilt, hahaha! Good luck with your goals and may 2011 be productive for you!!!
I look forward to hearing about how your goals progress..especially the garden ones. Happy 2011!
