what is this "beeelog?" thing

We're piss broke, but pitching in together as well as dumpstering our food I think we can make a humble little feast come together tomorrow. A good friend of ours is in town staying with us, so we are very happy to have his company.

Life has been a struggle here in the winter, but we are making it work every way we know how. Being snowed in and without a phone or way to connect to the world has been a reality I'm just getting used to. I have taken it upon myself to be the water bearer. I unfreeze the pipes and empty the grey water and refill our fresh water every couple days, tromping around in my big galoshes in the snow like Mister Paddington Bear.

By the time it is Summer I feel I will be a different person having lived through a brutal New Mexico winter. It is good preparation for the Summer when we will be moving onto the mesa.

My love has gotten a job in the Ski Valley, teaching snowboarding and skiing to 3 & 4 year olds. Before he officially starts that he has been shoveling snow in 70 mph winds! He wakes up at 6am to drive a half hour up into the mountain. I am very proud to be by his side.

I am starting a new Children's book about very strange mutant-like rare and unusual wonderous creatures who become empowered by their odd behaviors and features. I have so many little stories that I can use and share. I think it is something that I can be passionate about enough to finish, especially by making the entire book myself.

I hope everyone has a wonderful time with what and who they are holding this holiday.

love.
 
Sounds like you're living off grid... I'd like to read more about your situation. My friend and I are searching for a plot of land to build our straw bale and cob house(s) and I would really like to hear more about your experiences. Glad to see you're doing well, seizing life by the horns, as always.
 
I didn't even know I got comments. hmmm......

I'm not quite living off the grid, but I will be pretty soon here. We won't even be starting with anything; no panels, no catchment system, not even a shitter yet. There is a lot of alternative building going on in NM. The Earth Ship headquarters is here. I will be helping to build one here shortly. Check em' out!
