Land ho?

Hubby said to me last week "maybe we should be looking at just land".  Oh my gosh, inside I am jumping for joy.  Been saying this for 2 years!  And been shut down on the idea for 2 years.  It's better to at least start than sit around, doing nothing.  A garden and orchard can be started, trees can be felled and aged for building material,  outbuildings can be started,  it could be a wonderful destination during the summer, camping out.  It's like paddling a boat up stream,  I am getting no where fast!  So now he must be feeling the persistent social pressure of sustainability because no one out there is going to care about us.  We will fall between the cracks, we're the working poor.  Working so hard for the government, with nothing left over for us.  We need to take care of our present and future.  We all need to consume less, and here in my house I am not only doing that but also letting go of 'stuff';  it sits in boxes, unused.  'Stuff' should not make us happy, family and friends should.  Working in gardens, with animals, in coordination with each other should be our goal for happiness.  When I was a kid, we heard that TV would rot our brains, etc.  Well it's happening.  Laziness, diabetes, heart disease are the proof!  Well, we'll see what happens!  Hmm, maybe we;ll be out looking this summer.
