The few elevated minds...who only disbelieve because they do not know,
we would remind of that apothegm of Narada, the ancient Hindu philosopher:

"Never utter these words: 'I do not know this—therefore it is false.'

"One must study to know, know to understand, understand to judge."


—Isis Unveiled, I, 628

Once and again

Once again it has been almost a year since I have taken the time to jot down my thoughts here. Very much has changed and much is still remaining the same .....

New work and longer commute time has me spending less time on building my subsistence farming and gardening endeavor. I lost the green house and as yet have not rebuilt it. I have a plan for later in the spring when the weather is better and the wind has subsided. I have been investigating the possibility of building an aquaponic system in the new green house but I am still uncertain about the upkeep and several of the fine points of breeding and sustaining a reasonable population of fish, or what species to even begin with. There are several choices and many ways to design and operate an aquaponic system.

The wheat is in and I have the onion and garlic starts all set. I am thinking about building a vineyard on the upper garden area perhaps if I can find a cultivar that can stand the cold and will still produce under some of the drought conditions we have been experiencing.

perhaps I will have some more time to write down my thoughts more often this year......

We'll see!!
