As I said a few posts ago, we've been on vacation, so have been spending less time posting, or buying canned goods, or worrying too much about the collapse of the world as we know it. The most obvious reason we are worrying less is we are on vacation and determined to enjoy the lovely New England weather, and the sights, and spending time with the kids and grandparents.
However, I think just being in Portland, Maine, is also taking the edge of our worries. This is a community much more focused on sustainability, community gardens, recycling, taking care of the planet. Plus, there's SO MUCH GREEN. Yes, it's summer. But there are so many trees, and growing plants, and animals, and fish. If you had to you could forage or scavange. Whereas in the concrete suburbia that we live in now, life would be -- will be? -- a lot more difficult to produce food for one's family, in a worst case scenario, etc.
On the other hand, in Florida, we don't have to worry about freezing to death.
Anyway, with a couple of good fireplaces, and a lot of blankets, and a couple dogs, winter would be bearable up here. And if the planet does keep warming up... it might be quite pleasant too.
Life is just more peaceful here. And not just because we are on vacation.
