We are a car-free retired couple living in a small 950 sq ft mountain cabin on less than 1/4 acre at 6,750 ft elevation. The native plant habitat we established on the property now exceeds 100 species and we grow organic vegetables on a small portion of the yard. In our continuing efforts toward simple, sustainable and rewarding lives we bid our last car "Good Riddance" in January of 1997. Earth Home Garden represents what we love in life; our bountiful planet EARTH and all her natural diversity; our cozy little cabin HOME and the family it has sheltered for 29 years; and the GARDEN around us which nurtures so many native creatures and helps feed us as well. It's our PLACE TO BE........... ***NOTICE*** Unless otherwise stated, all photos and text posted here are the copyrighted property of Jim Otterstrom, who hereby grants permission to re-print or re-publish his work, freely, for non-commercial purposes, so long as it is un-altered and credit is given.

hi jim,
i know how you feel about cars and was wondering if you had any thoughts on bio diesel. i would be interested in hearing your point of view.
k.
I think bio diesel is a great interim step toward weening ourselves off cars.
Anything that reduces pollutants into our environment is a step in the right direction.
I'm working on a multi-faceted critique of the automobile and the unprecedented havoc it's wreaking upon our planet and our lives.
I'll post it here when I have it ready if you can check back now & then.
thanks, i'll keep checking back.
Well done photo of the sky reflected in the lake.
Gorgeous! Hello, hello! Thanks for all the nice comments you left on Farmgirl Fare this morning.
Wow, I just found your blog and I have to say that you two are the cutest couple I have ever seen. Congratulations on your anniversary! I was sorry to hear about your son - I've unfortunately been in two really bad accidents (worse, neither one my fault) and I feel very similar to you. No one seems to understand - unless they've had loved ones in an accident or been in one themselves. It really changes your outlook on vehicles. I'll be back!
Beautiful picture
