- I like to build things.
- In 2013 I built a large garden
- In 2014 I built a yurt

- In 2016 I built a cottage and tree house
- In 2017 I built a farm stand and started an apiary

- In 2019 I planted a 30 tree orchard and expanded the garden. I also learned to cure olives
- In 2020–Planting trees, caring for the garden, gathering honey, queen bee rearing, becoming more proficient at curing olives, always learning from Mother Earth
