Hello Mark and everyone. I've been watching the SelfSufficientMe videos for a couple of years. My favorite and the one that caught my attention was one of Mark chasing the ducks. Being normal, not staged, the ducks winning, it was refreshing, funny and just downright normal! I usually watch videos after I've gone to bed so I don't comment much because I forget about it the next day when I'm up at the computer....its hard to comment using Apple TV. I live outside of Sacramento, California. Its hot and dry in the summer and, usually, cold and wet in our winter. But, we just had the first good winter rainfall, breaking the drought of four years. I have a back injury that now makes it difficult to walk so my gardening is just a few things that have not died. The videos encourage me, help me to dream of gardening days ahead, and help me to keep things in perspective when I'm a bit down. My granny raised me, had that pioneering spirit and we were self sufficient when I was growing up. I live in a subdivision that "allows" us to have up to four chickens, no roos. I really enjoy them. Well, glad to be here in the group!
