I am back, now with high speed

We finally had to break down and get high speed internet.  We tried dial up, but most web pages now are written for high speed.  We tried using the library, but they were either closed or we never had enough time.  So we have connected to the world of high speed.

House update:

• Garden is in full bloom and producing veggies.
• Squash and Pumpkins taking over the world
• Down to 4 guinea hens
• Solar systems are working better than expected
• Blueberry's, elderberry's and our apple stick are still alive
• House is running on about $0.88 a day (heat, lights and pool)

Personal update:

• Recently gave a talk at FW Horch
• Planning a talk for the Common Ground Fair
• Continuing the quest for a simple life and extricating myself from the consumer corporate world

To quote from my recent reading -  Radical Homemakers

"By rebuilding our home lives according to values of social justice, ecological sustainability, and family and community security, we begin the process of dismantling the extractive economy and creating in its place a life-saving economy that enables us to meet our needs while thriving in harmony with our earth and spirits."

I will post photos soon.  We now have the ability.

Namaste
