Hi folks. I have been living at a permaculture farm (a what?) for the last nine months. It was quite wonderful in many ways. Also quite rustic. No warm water, no shower, the toilet was self composting - and in another building. That was interesting when it was nighttime or when it was raining. But I am all the more hardy (smirk). Permaculture is a way of farming that looks at the relationships between the land, the plants, the animals, and the people, and all things that are involved in growing - weather, soil, water, etc. It was quite lovely to be woken up in the morning by the rooster, and create beautiful gardens this spring. So many incredible flowers and a whole fruit forests. Pretty cool.
I have this week, began a housesitting gig back down the river not too far away. It's a beautiful open cabin, with lots of windows and beautiful wooden floors. I find myself dancing in my stocking feet listening to the great jazz and swing music. My friends have gone to Europe for two months, and wanted me to stay and watch their home. It is very quiet, tucked into the woods.
Had a parttime job doing census taking which is coming to a close this week. Lots of changes in my life. It was quite interesting to knock on doors, and meet the people behind them.
Sprong is a writer that has interesting questions about spirituality.
I have a brother who loves to answer the phone "it's great here in paradise. How is it there in your part of paradise?" Spring here was magnificent. Hope all is well in your part of the world.
