Just as the title reads I'm in need of a partner or I will have to give up this homestead.
I've been here 23 years now, and want to continue to do so, but let's face it I can't work it alone anymore.
The "partner" could be a cohort, or something more, but must be dedicated to
Permaculture homesteading practices.
Gender matters little to me, it's a person's deeds/integrity that impress me.
About me:
62 with eyes of blue, ginger hair and skin that's fair.
I'm 5'5", average build (no handles), and dress appropriately for whatever the occasion.
I'm a spiritual being but not religious, intellectual but not a snob.
I consider myself a social philosopher, anthropologist, and historian.
I do not like heavy metal, country, or rap music.
I'm thrifty but not cheap.
I'm multi skilled, from a needle &
thread to basic power tools.
I like building things to helping a doe to kid.
I enjoy letting the livestock be as they are meant to be. I appreciate their individual personalities.
I'm self-disciplined, and like to maintain my Zen.
I can handle
chicken s**t, goat s**t, horse s**t, but will not tolerate bull s**t.
I'm a good listener, and give sound advice when asked.
I have firm convictions, practice mutual respect and expect it in return.
I firmly believe that everyone has the right to clean up their own mess.
I'm so not into Domestic Servitude.

I had a serious health issue at the beginning of this year, after my most recent test, the Dr. said that I've made an "unexpected and remarkable improvement", but I know it's the Permie Lifestyle that did most of the healing. Throughout the illness I never stopped doing my chores, nor did I drop any the season's projects on the homestead. "Take care of the
Land, and the Land will take care of you",... That
should tell you something.
What do I want in a partner? Much of what I've expressed in the above. To use further detail; strong of body, mind, and spirit, yet gentle, compassionate, Honorable and just of word and in deed. Someone who works with rather than dominate a situation. One who can live within and part of the rhythms of the Earth.
Now, I feel I've said quite a bit, and may have missed a thing or two.
Looking forward to hearing from and about you here or in a PM.
Cheers! K
