But, I think someday I'm just going to break down and be that crazy reclusive lady who lives alone out in the country and only comes to town to sell her pottery, eggs and vegetables.

I'm tired. Sigh.

I was that lady, minus the crazy and the pottery, throw in goat milk and some duck eggs...and I quite enjoyed it...I don't think that would make you crazy if it is your dream...It wasn't all that reclusive when I take into consideration all the friendships that I quickly developed with like minded folks who lived out in the country by choice or by inheritance...There were lots of cooking parties, canning parties, hay bailing parties, singing and instrument playing, and plenty of time sitting around porches...It was wonderful.
