Re: Green living

[Guest guest]

when my husband and i moved into our house we were only going to live

here for 2 years. we were going to buy a slightly larger place and

settle into a permanent home that we hoped we would stay in until our

child grew up.

well we ended being here for nearly 6 years and never got to any of

the 'green' things I wanted to get done, like water barrels, an

efficient compost pile (i have a very inefficient compost pile), a

worm farm, raised greenhouse beds for year round growing and many

other plans i had hoped for.

i am very excited about the prospect of finally moving into a place to

settle down.

i am 36 years old and i have moved more than 20 times in my life. i'm

so done moving. i feel like i'm always in a holding pattern waiting

for something and still waiting to begin to live, i know it has

soemthing to do with my weight gain as well. hard to plan for your

future when you're always waiting for something.

my husband likes to put off everything for 'later when... " no more

later when's for me after this. time to start living.

i want a really huge water barrel for the next place. this one place

near us sells 5oo to 1000 gallon water tanks, i dont know how much

they cost, but i'm drooling over them. it rains so much during the

rest of the year, i love the thought of not paying to water my garden

in the summer.
