Subject: The farmstead and commute...
In reply to: Diane 's message, "Re: Diane!!! How are you???" on Wednesday, January 10, 03:50:07pm

Diane, I was SO worried about the commute....especially because just from South OC where I was, to Santa Ana was a nightmare.....and we all know how this 91 freeway is any time any day....but the best thing came to light...I take the Metrolink Train....it's perfect. I have never been so relaxed and enjoying everything so much. The commute is faster than anyone who drives, I leave my little honda at the train station in santa ana so I have a car to get around....I can read, do my school work, keep up on email, etc....all on the train and it's only a 40 minute commute because I'm not sitting on the freeway. The best part is that because I don't have to sit behind the wheel and get stressed out and drained....I am relaxed by the time I get home and am ready to go out and enjoy the animals, get the eggs from the chickens...pet the goats...play with the dogs...it's the best.
But yep....acres galore....that really is what I want. I know all the modern conveniences wouldn't be there like it is now....it's amazing what you don't think about until you need something and can't get to it....but I figure just a little extra planning because I'd be out in the middle of nowhere...and lots of ordering online and having things shipped in.
I am learning to cook more and better foods, grow my own foods....so all in all, I am really looking to a life that feels like I've stepped back in time....hopefully I can get that underway within maybe 5 years...we shall see.
