permaculture

[Carol Lee Bell <pyrofish333@gmail.com>]

Please keep me on the list.  I guess I qualify as a lurker but I learn so
much from this list.  I am just a 40 hour a week office mom trying hard to
transform her property into a minuscule food forest for her family.  Its
like I have 1.7 foot in one world and .3 foot in another.  I can't wait
until it is 0 to 2 but this hamster wheel is too strong when that college
carrot is dangled on the other side.  This list keeps me going when I get
frustrated.  Provides hope.  You are doing an amazing thing.

I humbly thank you!
