I like not having a conversation that doesn't need to be had. Simplicity is useful when the mind doesn't feel it necessary to empty itself constantly. I like the occasional pause, the itinerant journey, the time slowed and can appreciate what you have to share.
Find me an adventurer, collector, designer, writer, outdoors-man, artist... I enjoy conversation, food, cooking, friends, ideas, inventive objects-minds, interior designs, decorating, landscapes, photography, architecture, history, travel, antiques, timeless craftsmanship and you, maybe. Why NOT?!?
I am a Mississippian and have a knack for living. I've been to the world and have come back to myself.
Enjoy your visit: say hi and share anytime :)
Not only do I raise hell, but I also grow food. You must break your need and your identification for and with the systems that enslave you.

EETHUIS (eathouse) is a small house made of a scaffold structure and covered with eatable green (vegetables, herbs and flowers). We’ve built the house, the green has grown very well and we’ve had a nice harvest.
This is the BEST! Click-through for more photos!

British Waterways to grow more food alongside canals » City Farmer News
The UK seems to be at the forefront of urban agriculture development.
not that the uk has a real problem with precipitation, but it would be cool if these plants were watered by the river in which they were grown.
this is a great idea, too, because the barges could be moved up & down the waterway to meet up with river-side festivals & farmer’s markets.
