I realize it's been ages since you made your post. I found my way to it in a random and unexpected way and time.
I wanted to share that I admire your dreams and all you've done. Your balcony view took my breath away. I am a single woman living in an OR neighborhood dreaming of the peaceful, simple, rural life. I love hard work and fruits of labor. Way to go, making your own dreams into a reality. I hope to do the same. I have ambitious goals and have taken many steps toward achieving them on my own. I do look forward to potentially finding a friend and partner to share it all with. Good luck to you. Should you ever want to talk (even friendship is a highly valued commodity with me), message me?
