Thank you, everyone who sent me recommendations and ideas! I'm getting
really excited about the possibilities for the little piece of earth and
little bungalow for which I am responsible, and the ways in which
permaculture will teach me to be a good caretaker.
Sorry for the delayed thanks. Had to leave my new town -- Ithaca -- to
go south for family affairs, but I'm back now. The gridlock, air
pollution, unbridled consumerism, and (de)construction of woods and
meadows confirmed me in my midlife choice of home in Ithaca.
