Hello from the southeastern US

Post: # 93983Post 2lizards »

Hi all,

My name is Josh, and I came across this website through a post on Sustainablog (I think). Anyway, my wife and I are very interested in becoming self-sufficientish, and the tips and information here are very inspiring. We currently live in Tennessee, but we'll most likely be moving in the near future when I finish my library science degree. Who knows, we could even end up in England, since my wife is originally from Teesside.

Josh

P.S. I just realized my avatar is Margo! Well, thank you very much, Jerry!

Thanks for the welcome! I checked out the Thurston Garden website, and I love what you're doing. Strangely, that was the second time I ended up at an East Lothian website today. There was a library job posted in Haddington I read about earlier.

My avatar pic was actually taken on the beach at Seaton Carew when I was trying to be "artistic" by taking really close up shots. There were all these mini-canyons worn away in the rock. Moments later I slipped on the rocks and very nearly killed myself! :cooldude:
