'Interesting' is a very kind way to describe some of the comments on this thread.
Silly me. I thought we were living in the USA. This woman, I suspect from what I have read, lives in an perilous urban area and opens her small paradise to children groups, teaches them about the joys of gardening and animal husbandry, opens up to the community at large and promotes the notion we are all connected to a greater good.
Label her as a "hippie" or "enviro-nazi" or "tree hugger," I for one, would be glad to know her. Additionally, I wonder how many of these posters with "interesting" comments have done as much for their communities. Actions speak louder than labelling words.
