My personal philosophy, or at least what I strive for, is summed up in a great quote by Kurt Vonnegut that recently came to my attention: “We should be unusually kind to one another, certainly. But we should also stop being so serious. Jokes help a lot.”

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning homesteading skills, and I might be able to help you out with your garden, depending on what you need. I'd love to learn more about permaculture. I can also teach you some basic mushroom foraging skills. I'm a decent cook and I'm really good at using whatever's around to make dinner!
