After flying around for a bit - I have landed on the California Coast, in northern Humboldt County. LOVE it here. Woods AND ocean AND farmland AND a college AND many many galleries. Doesn't that mean sexy lumberjacks AND surfers AND farmers AND hippies AND artists ? I would like to meet some. I am an early 40s mom of one, learning about herbs and mushrooms and growing things. I love cooking and making things by hand. Interested in meeting someone to share all of these exciting times and the abundant joy we are discovering here. Permies rock.

Thank you for the lovely note! Texas does have many treasures. The year I moved from there, we had suffered over 30 days of over 105 degree heat. When, on th 32nd day or so, it reached only 102, it was such a relief! (DFW area, 11 or so years ago.) Needless to say, that (combined with many other reasons) prompted my wandering off to find a better place for us. I am now leaning towards the northern CA coast. I like the farming communities with a sprinkling of hippies and artists. I like your 'move there and make some friends' advise! I'm tryin! Have a wonderful spring. Hope you get up that hill!

LOVE Tahoe...but will never be able to have land here. (And the winters and bears prevent composting grrrrr!) Dreaming daily of chickens and aquaponics and learning to turn milk into butter etc ... and perhaps the addition of a kind, strong, man to my family. Pre-teen son, dogs, turtle, lizard, cat-- wait, that's not my cat. I am used to doing everything myself-but there is so much joy in this life not to want to share it. Not religious, don't smoke, prefer whiskey over wine...cooking from scratch, and many many projects. Maybe someone is out there who has skills to teach (gun safety, how to process a chicken?! How to surf!) And a world view that doesn't include thinking he knows everything already. Be funny and not too serious about everything--not a flake, but not a type A either. WRITE me!

Peace

Maybe the problem is, you think you have to fit in somewhere. I think you are kinda cute, and you shouldn't worry about fitting.

BEST!
