About Me
- Wendy
- I'm growing roots, both figuratively and literally, in the suburbs of southern Maine with Deus Ex Machina, our great kids, a flock of suburban chickens, some whacky ducks, and a herd of rabbits.
Advance praise for Surviving the Apocalypse in the Suburbs" by John Michael Greer, author The Long Descent: A User's Guide to the End of the Industrial Age
In this eminently practical and thoughtful book, Wendy Brown takes on the challenge of exploring the options for surviving and thriving through hard times in the suburbs, and carries it off with aplomp. Highly recommended!

A THRIVALIST IS ...
... what you get when you cross a survivalist with a optimistic realist ... who likes to grow things ;).

I saw this and thought about the food banks and soup kitchens that rely on farm surplus it is going to be a tough autumn. I am already thinking that I will have to supplement some of my garden crops/ home preserved food with food purchased at the farmers market.
It is very scary...
I put copper on my spuds to save them from blight but it has rained again and now I will have to apply more (18.00 a bag) ...ouch!
Too bad we couldn't distribute rain a bit more evenly. I would LOVE to have some of that rain....in June we got only a half inch.....
That is bad news!
