Do you ever feel like the stork dropped you off in the wrong place? I do. My family is fine but where I live doesn't fit me right. All of my life I've wanted to be out in the country on a farm, and as I get older the felling of wanting to live out on my land with my crops and animals seems even more fantastic. As I get more knowledgeable about farming the more I desire my dream. Currently I do my best by adding gardens as I can at my current homes. Unfortunately I live in Chicago and have only a few months of gardening season. The idea of putting in a greenhouse is something I may do in the future. I would love to live somewhere with a milder climate and where "going green" isn't looked down upon but supported. I'm sure I have so much more to learn and I want to move some place where I can learn as much as possible about our eco-system, going green.
Right now Oregon seems like the place I want to go and my boyfriend has wanted to go there for years. With the economy as bad as it is we both could almost start over out there and be fine. The full plan to move may take a few years we don't want to do anything stupid and take too much of a step backwards.
He wants to go to school and so do I. I'm going to start going out here as I will not be moving for a while. If he moves there is a community college that offers a renewable resource electricity class and he has been talking about learning how to do that.
I hope it all works out and we can be where we feel like we belong. I wanted to publish this so I could track our plan. Things change and evolve all the time that's how we get to where we are today and will get to tomorrow.
