our lives as

My photo
We are a family of Vagabonds bound to this land, a band of explorers in our native culture. The road is our ocean, the ocean our border, as we sail along in our little blue boat. We look for, and find everywhere, the America where nature is the guiding ethic, where people work to envision a better world, and where community and respect for life comes first. As we cruise around from state to state we will do our best to share our stories and observations with old and new friends alike. If you care to, we invite you to join us as we live life in motion.

Salamander Springs




We are in middle Georgia now. What is referred to here as the deep south, with a tone that slightly implies that deep actually means real. Its beautiful here even though its winter, we're going through record cold temperatures right now, which means theres frost on the grass in the morning and the wind picks up at night. For the most part though its like springtime in Seattle, with a couple days of summer thrown in here and there.
We live on a farm called Salamander Springs, 50 acres, probably 20 of them actively used by little homes and garden space. Its a great place, we've fallen in love with it and plan to return. Debbie, the owner and mother hen of the farm, is sweet as can be and reminds me of my Mom all the time. They are pretty much the same age, teach english, are Unitarian, were/are hippies, are always busy, always taking care of everyone around them, scatterbrained and wonderful! There have been lots of WWoofers in and out, and we've made some pretty awesome friends already. There are projects galore and we are busy everyday. The only electricity comes from a solar panel, and the only running water is from generator pumped rain water. We cook over open fire and drink fresh spring water. Its kinda the greatest.
