Some time back, maybe a year or more? i began to follow a woman, Cecilia Mary Gunther, a New Zealander who had married a man of mid-west farm people. She became a farmer. Determined to be organic and kind. Raising cows, chickens, ducks and pigs, feed for those. Recentlly, months, she began working part time at a grain mill nearby for extra cash the farm needed. This parttime turned into much more and really her life is now fulltime fulltime. She used to blog daily but now every now and then. Today, said "...create systems that are long term. No more hunkering down and waiting. Get busy. Let's literally design our lives to create safe living spaces and inclusive caring practices that include all our neighborhoods." I read the words and tho am not sure how to translate them to something i know, they caught and held my attention. I read them several times. The kitchensgarden.com Nanette turned me on to her.
