Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Debbie Mcdonald <belynor@sbcglobal.net>]

Wow, thanks everyone. I am so glad this came up. I feel like I have a home 
now:) I have goats too Doug and they are some of the most spiritual creatures 
to me that are here. The depth of love they give is even stronger than most 
dogs. Of course, dogs are my salvation  having gotten me through life. I 
found this most wonderful song online, I must share with you. I have to get 
off to find it and then send it or I will lose this email. Puter 
incompetent:) Hope it is ok Paul.
  When I built this small house, I put glass french doors in all the room s 
to bring in the outdoors and buried the house in the tall trees. I put my 
hand on one of the tall ladies to send out positive energy the other day and 
it was a very powerful experience. I have always hugged them in the past. I 
am very novice at all this to bear with me...I aspire.. Deb
