"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."

Working on learning various useful skills dealing with self-sufficiency. I live in a small home, with a 5400 sq ft backyard in a suburb near a small city. While not the most ideal place to be as for being prepared, it is what I have, and is not bad to learn how to manage with what we have. Perhaps others may find my experiences useful for their small homes as well.

I AM JARV. Founding fathers spoke of a painting with a sunset/sunrise.. Ben (I believe it was) asked, is it a rising sun or a setting one.. in 1776 it was rising. And what about NOW? The West is Ending.. Or is it REALLY?
