Happy Right Where I am

It has been awhile since I have written because my computer was down. Since last time i have many new chicks, my Mohawk girl healed and is now back in the coop. We also had a Nor-eastern snow storm. Thanks giving came and I celebrated it by eating what I raised and being ever so grateful for all I have: my food, my friends, my furry and feathered family. I am in contact with people who are truly off the grid and BOY my heart yearns to be there also. No electricity, no cars, no big business, no PTA, no grocery store appeals to me. Can you hear it singing in my heart? The other side is I am old, there are things i should not be doing even though i thrive on the challenge. I am doing the splits but I think wisdom would dictate that I remain where I am and become more and more self sustaining and I can pull myself off the grid here as well. i have way too much money invested in fruit trees etc to ever leave. I have often thought that, God forbid, if anything happened to my home, I would build a tiny cabin right here and live.
