Hey ‘rugged! I had fun checking out your journal a couple of months back
I’m still here in the forest just in a life situation that doesn’t really allow me to be very engaged here on the forums.
I check in every now and then and I lurk occasionally to enjoy peoples gardens.
Hi Otter!Hi AmyHope summer's good to you!
Thanks - summer is weird this year with not a lot of warm days. Today is nice tho 
Nice to see you 
It's always a welcome sight to have you drop by for a visit Ms Gardner! Many folks here see me as a bit of a meanie asshole so I can certainly see why that host might remind you of me. Oh, sorry...did you mean the laughs and banter part? I'll see what they have of that on youtube and see if I can discern your true intentions.
I hope you and your lively other are doing well down under and that your health and wellness are reasonably in hand. In my head I picture that you're still growing in a forest surrounded by all of your critters, and that the only difference is we just don't get to see it.
Big love back atcha!
somehow I knew you would wonder that and there was no way of diverting it so I just had to wait for your punt to write back that it is the playing fine lines and the banter and the humour that reminds me of here and not the meanie asshole factor… as such, for sure. I mentioned that part because if you don’t know, it can really put some people off. 
Your imagination is more complete than the reality. I’ve cultivated an ounce or 2 here and there with autos in the tiny growbox and I am still here in the forest amongst my crittery friends, but definitely not growing in any meaningful way - nothing outdoors, La Niña weather pattern gives us cooler more humid weather and it’s just been a rain-fest on this continent for a while (the east in particular). We have fared pretty well in that regard - better than many many others! - although the edible garden outside is pretty confused. It’s been so “unseasonably” cold at times we’ve had the indoor fireplace fired up more than once since Christmas.
Health things managed as well as possible, I think - thanks. Nearly all my energy beyond daily basics (like eating etc.) goes on my physical therapy program and the management of supports. Lots of relationships to navigate. Hopefully this is easing a bit with some processes coming to a close and resolution and finally having things set up in a more sustainable way ‘on the ground’, accessibility-wise.
It seems all is rolling along for you as it does - pretty swimmingly with a bevvy of beautiful plants in your stable. It’s good to see. Very comforting
Shed, please make me your disciple and step my step teach me. I know I am on autos but....
