Andrew, it is a comfort to know you have planted your flag and have visions of a good life, but not an easy one. I look forward to future "fermentations" to come. I can barely remember having a long timeline to worry about how it will all come together. We are pretty much in waiting mode in senior retirement 800 miles from everyone and every place that was dear to us less than six months ago. But even so, life has a few higher points from time to time. Be well...

Thanks Fred, and good to hear from you. I hope there are at least some new and interesting aspects of the Missouri landscape that you're getting to explore.

I think that will come. I have a resident-contact here who has a long history in conservation here and knows a lot of people who hug trees and other living things. I am making progress towards future connections--one way being to have an essay published (April May) by the Conservation Federation of Missouri. Life is complicated by Ann's memory loss and future needs but we are well fed, safe and warm.
