Count me in as a listener with Donald et al.  

Inge Leonora that was what I was thinking of too

That would be a very healthy walk to do each day, up and down the hill.

Welcome to permies Jacob, I think more people are moving to Georgia so you'll likely find someone or someones who could be interested.

This looks like such a wonderful series of classes!

May permaculture meetup and barter circle:
Okay comrades, I'm hosting a permaculture meetup/gathering and barter circle on Thurs. May 28th at 8pm, running until 9:30pm-ish ideally.
Feel encouraged to bring something to trade in the barter circle, and/or a snack to share.  Also feel encouraged to bring your own bowl/plate/utensils if you'd like.  If you forget that's okay.  Kids are welcome though the event isn't child-centered.  We'll visit outdoors if the weather isn't rainy and indoors if it is.
I have a facebook event set up for it.  I just called it permaculture meetup and barter circle.
If we meet up inside I would please ask you to leave your animal friends at home, my house is a pet-free zone.

No judgement at this event about how far anyone has gotten in permie goals, we're all at where we're at and learning and growing.
We'll start our barter circle after visiting for a while, so probably at 8:30-ish, at faire we play a barter game called Sven's trade blanket, this is similar though covers a wider variety of barterables.  Things to barter at our event can be tangible or intangible.  Make sure they're appropriate to talk about around kids, ... unless we don't have any kids show up.  But nothing illegal please the goal is for this to become a monthly affair.

11714 SE Fuller Rd. Portland OR 97222 (we're on the border of Portland and Milwaukie in Clackamas Co.).

I intend to have the garden and vintage+ yard stand open tomorrow afternoon, starting at 2pm-ish:  pea sprout microgreens, calendula and mini-white pumpkin seeds from last year's garden, possibly calendula greens and flowers for salads, vintage and other lovely finds.
Same address as above.

I've been singing for tips at various places lately, Montavilla farmers market for instance is a really good place to busk because they don't have "official" music and they're kind to buskers.  While there I bought some sweet little plants that like shade to plant along my fence, they're all native and so they'll be happy and good for the ecosystem.  Wish I could remember the name of the business to give her a shout-out, she's based right there in SE Portland.

I write about more general things in my thread on the homesteading forum, garden, other permaculture stuff, etc.

Ben that sounds lovely.  I'd love to come down on a trip and do this someday.  I'm one of those naughty people who loves doing class one and two rapids on my floaty tube, I choose one float a year to do locally here, generally a few hours in length.  I wouldn't risk class three on my floaty though that's raft territory for me haha, I'm not a total idot.

Welcome to permies Koda, this is a good place to seek community mates.  Another place you might consider is ic.org the foundation for intentional communities.

Hi Kathryn, welcome to permies.  Thanks for sharing this with us.  Hopefully you can get a bit more space so you can start doing more, but in the meantime things like shopping at a zero waste shop if there's one near you can make a difference, keep learning and seeing what you can do both now and in future towards permie goals.

We're about to do our yearly check-and-see-if-its-expired in the fridge and the top shelf of the cupboard.  Everywhere else is under good management, but the sauces in the fridge get us and my husband's shelf of the food cupboard gets chaotic.  I'm really proud of how the rest stays well managed and we are timely about eating things and using them to good effect most of the time.  I liked this video, more ideas about driving routes being more efficient when my husband drives.

Welcome to permies Michael.  I'm hoping that someone will have some ideas for you about how to acquire these seeds.
