My time is short here at wheaton labs, and i have been rejuvenated and encouraged by my experience. It wont be long before i head back to phoenix metro area, and i am determined to make permaculture work for me and make it a hallmark of my life experience for the rest of my life. My desire is to start a blog/journal here detailing my life experience pertaining to permaculture and anything else i feel necessary to get off my chest. I have included a screenshot of my flights out here from phoenix as a way to turn back time. I endeavor  to interject experiences from my glorious experiences in my short 9 day experience here at wheaton labs, yet also adding my everyday personal experience while living in the phoenix metro. My goal in doing this will be to inspire myself and others to live the life they want and to fight like hell to improve that quality of life. We all have a quality of life and all of us have a responsibility to ourselves to improve that quality of life.
I must admit that i feel this is about the billionth time that i have said i will incorporate more permaculture and the natural world into my life, so i feel very hesitant in staking a claim that i will post here daily/hourly or in any specific time period, because dammit i just dont want to fail. One absolute goal i do have, however, is that I will return back here to wheaton labs on June 1, 2027.

Hello Andrew!  

I am so glad you had such a good time at Wheaton Labs.  I find it rejuvenating there too!   There is something so special about being part of the permaculture experiments and lifestyle there!


I have lots of bitterroot where I live.  They are a beautiful pink flower in early spring and are pretty much invisible in summer.  I will bring some out to Wheaton Labs and try to get them started.
