I'M SO EXCITED!

I've been lurking here (sorry) for a long time, and a lot of you have become like Rock Stars to me!

I feel like I've been invited to the VIP club (thank you!) to hang out with the Beautiful People, lol. 😊

I live off grid near the North Shore of Lake Huron, with my partner, our cats, 3 dogs (Newfie and Great Pyrs), a week old litter of 10 pups 🐶, and a cranky Quaker parrot. We're learning how to garden (thanks to our brilliant and patient neighbors), build with resources on our land (we have gorgeous clay! ), and I have 1 successful Rocket Stove under my belt. (Oh yes, I have THE Book)

We want to add chickens, horses, goats when we're ready for them - lots to learn first.

(I really hope this posts in the intros like it's supposed to! )

Cheers all,
Angela

Hi Angela, welcome to Permies! It sounds like you have your hands full there. (10 puppies!!!)
There should be a "reply" button at the bottom of your screen. Do you use mobile or PC? The mobile view is under development at the moment, and can be a bit....clunky so I understand. If you have general questions like that the 'tinkering with this site' forum is the best one to add questions in.

Welcome from western Canada. Somewhat west, and not far, from the Rockies.

Hi Angela,

Welcome to Permies. You have found the best place on the net.

Some people age like fine wine. I aged like milk … sour and chunky.

Nancy, thanks for the help! That Tinker link is rabbit-hole worthy all on its own. Started reading Paul Wheatons (omg SO cool!) Intro post - that man is a Force of Nature! I think I might have a Eco-Crush!

Yup, 10 pups is super fun right now, but I'm trying not to think about chasing all 10 around in a few weeks. Toddlers....ugh

Hello Anne, thank you 😊

Joel - we moved out here from Edmonton 3 years ago. I miss Alberta and her Rockies, but I fell in love with the forests and Big Water out here. Shout out friend

Oh my goodness John F Dean you're not wrong! I'm supposed to be sorting out my garden shed right now, but this is WAY more fun!
