Heya folks....

Well, I just wanted to open up a potential space in which any lurkers who may be itching to de-lurk can come on out and show their faces. We would most certainly love to hear from any and all of you.

And also, if anyone new feels the urge to introduce themselves, tell us a little bit about themselves, their relationship with the land, the bioregion they are a part of, etc......this might be a good place to do it.

Me, I'm Javier. I'm Chilean but I grew up in the States. I live in a mediterranean climate at the base of the Andes mountains in a big ol' nasty polluted city. But I love it. A lot. And I love the Mountains, and Abuelo Condor, and Abuela Puma....

And I have a little piece of land not far from here, which I hope to turn into a self-sustainable permaculture settlement. So far it's going good: I've got Lemons, oranges, potatoes, onions, fava beans, peas, and chard, and within two years time things should be booming.

A big ol' Heron stopped by the farm the other day. What a beauty! Gracias Abuela!

Oh, and I have a fairly decent sense of humor too. Nothing I enjoy more than people who are serious about their work and love, and yet are totally willing to laugh about themselves and each other. So I usually put smiley faces in my posts. Heeeheeehehhehhehe......
