I finally feel like I am breaking through the dark clouds that depression has been holding over me. Granted the main issue is still unresolved but sometime in the next couple of weeks things will be more clearer and hopefully weights will be lifted even more ( Read more... )

Damnit I am sick. I think I know how caught the cold of course but the why behind it is more dark ( Read more... )

Damn I actually like having fridays off. I worked so much today I missed a few hours of doing absolutely nothing while getting paid for it. Yes I know that is not cool beans but it was nice having a break from the head boss not breathing down everyone's neck ( Read more... )

All round my little space in a troubled county, I can see people getting ready for the fireworks-both legal and non-legal. On a hillside just off an unusually quiet main road I could see a woman in a colorful moo-moo pulling chairs around a portable gazebo. Her view aims right into the edge of Redlands.

I will still stay in one for a couple of days to get the feel but I am beginning to think that Earthships aren't as good an idea as orginally thought. There are a lot of structual issues with the older earthships along with some bad construction, poor ( Read more... )

If ever a family gave me hope that someday I could do the same thing it is this family right here. Touch the Earth Farm is a wonderful, informative website on how to really just DO IT. That is to say just start being more self-relient; start moving towards growing your own and even utilizing Co-Ops effectively. Now remember TTF IS a farm so they ( Read more... )

First the chickens. I borrowed a book from the library on chickens so I can read what I am thinking of getting into by starting a flock. I have a idea of what I want from them which is a combo of large eggs and meat eventually. But that means heavier breeds too. Since the space they will be in is limited, I have also thought about Bathams too ( Read more... )

As I sit here just back from the stables (Kelly is on antibiotics for infected tooth) and having the window handle replaced correctly from my new radio being installed, my dark funk continues on ( Read more... )
