Biography
I enjoy gardening, using my resources wisely, composting and learning more about permaculture and how to be in better harmony with Creation.
We  have a rental house with a small wraparound yard and a somewhat flexible landlord (won't let me kill the lawn with landscape tarps, but will let me put in raised beds), So I'm excited about what is coming for us.
I do Celtic, fantasy, folk, nature and shanty singing at Renaissance faires, fantasy festivals, pirate campouts and other events in western OR and WA. Plus I do some mental health peer support specialist work which I'm state-certified for. I also have a pop-up garden and vintage+ stand which  I set up outside the house to sell from when weather and circumstances permit.  My husband works at the grocery store, loves his videogames and is good at cooking. He enjoys learning new skills and is what we call a "social introvert", whereas I'm more extraverted.
We're Christians, we love playing in the water, we camp, we're politically moderate, even though we're family oriented and are close to our family we are childfree by choice.Our marriage has a nontraditional structure.
I set out to become good at gardening and permiculture pursuits, and I've made some progress and want to keep learning.

I was taught that they can be in the pantry until they're opened and then they need to be refrigerated.  Is that wrong?  Can they stay out even when opened?  When they're unopened we keep them in the cupboard, and they go to the fridge once they're opened.

There are a lot of things and places I'd like to see, but Anne's answer feels utterly the best, to be able to hold my much-younger brother that I helped rear again on my lap, he's way too big to sit on my lap now obviously.  Anne you've made me cry in the best way and its my new answer to every time travel question, I've never seen anyone say this before.

Welcome to permies Amber, I hope you can find the right people to buy the house and be its next residents.
Welcome to permies Marcin.  This seems like a fun idea to try.  I think we're going to get a birdhouse for next year.
