- We still live on .08 acres having had 26 acres bought out literally from underneath us by having someone else see us checking out the land, realize it must be for sale (though it wasn't on the market), and then insta-calling the seller and making an identical offer to ours a few hours before we had ours ready to submit. Frustrating - but praying for contentment in our situation. We've decided to wholeheartedly live where we are right now rather than waiting to start living until we arrive at our "dream property" sometime in the future.
- We're learning to use permaculture principles on a small scale
- I'm working through a PDC right now, and implementing as much as I can before completing a full on design to our property.
- Rabbits as a meat source are on the horizon
- Our family is stronger than ever, having come through 6 months of impatience being changed to patience, hope giving way to trust, and a growing realization that we really are on a course to a better future as we simplify and break away from so many of the mirages that American culture says are "normal"
per·ma·cul·ture - /ˈpərməˌkəlCHər/ - originally meaning simply a permanent agriculture but now indicating permanent culture focused on living in accord with the natural world; "Permaculture is a philosophy of working with rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless action; of looking at systems in all their functions rather than asking only one yield of them..." ~Bill Mollison
