Woman, I wish I could send you the HERD of rabbits that are eating my cantaloupe flowers and buds! My neighbors didn't cut their grass for a year, and they loved it when the baby rabbits hatched. And hatched. And hatched. Now we're infested. I'm using blood meal to keep them off the melons. Everything else A-OK. Glad to see you're doing well. Caroline, Tenn.

I'm wife to Mr. Greenjeans. We've been married 20 years and really starting to settle into our marriage.
We have two teenage girls, Nee-chan and chibi. Well, at least that's what they call each other.
This blog is a journal about my trying to unlearn a materialist understanding of my existance in the world.
We are aiming to be an urban homestead with the goal of growing as much food as we can right here in suburbia.
Friends say I need a farm, but I can walk to my office, to the library, the quilting store, and the girls can walk to school from where we live.
I'd love to gather community who shares in the journey of making do with less, producing our own food or buying locally, and being more creative than our previous consumerist model has taught us.

Such a dewlap! My current girl has a very demure dewlap. I miss the bountiful, fluffable sort (but of course Syd's is very lovely).......
