Living in the woods is making me anti social.

I wake up, tend to the dogs, I tend to the chickens, I make some coffee, I sit with my Savior -----------︎︎︎
I walk through my forest, I make some breakfast (maybe) and I get to work

I’ve got a car, but I don’t like to drive all that often which means I don’t like to leave all that often.
I try to cook with what I have and I try to do my projects with what I have, too; my barn is full of scrap, and my garage too. 

I got a kingly amount of Cherry from an old farmer down the road this summer.
He used to own a farm and before he sold it to whoever buys farms
he cut down every last cherry tree so they wouldn’t get it. 
In the end I turned some of it into a tree support.

I used to have a vibrant digital life of text-based role playing, but that’s gone the way of many a digital community; to shit. Now when I see folks, I wish I hadn’t. I don’t like going to town, I find talking tiresome, most of the time. Maybe it’s because I communicate professionally, but I’d rather spend my days with my dogs. 

 If a lion could talk, we couldn’t understand him.

Some people are better at living in the woods than others. My friends in Washington, Vermont, and my friend in Orange, Vermont are better at it than I am, but I’m trying to get better. Maybe one day my slop sink will look this good.
