Hi All,

I could not come to the 2023 RMH tour last January.  Can someone tell me if there are plans to have another one in the near future.  I need plenty of time to arrange my long-overdue trip from GA to to Missoula!
Thanks!

What is your favorite looking dry bean?  

Those are absolutely beautiful!  Your Permaculture quote at the bottom of your post should be made into bumper stickers/t-shirts!  
Permaculture...picking the lock back to Eden since 1978.
It would get people to ask about it and/or look it up for themselves.

I finished The Overstory by Richard Powers last year and am currently reading his next book, Bewilderment.
Both are terrific.  I think most everyone on this forum would appreciate a book like The Overstory.  It touches on so many things regarding the natural world and humanity's place in it.  If you like trees, that's reason enough to check it out!  

Didn't know where to post this on Permies but didn't see mention of Aaron Fletcher anywhere.  Just an inspiring, humbling story of how this beautiful human has learned to live and work.  So many innovative ideas!

Backed.  Hopefully this book will help me gain a real, working knowledge enough to finally install my own panels.

Knows that one secret to aging well is to keep moving, avoid sitting too much and staying flexible.   She knows that humans are prone to slow down and let gravity take over as we age and works everyday to resist that.  We must be intentional about maintaining strength and flexibility.  Don't call it exercise.  Call it building resilience!

To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.
