I like looking at all those pics

Sharon, yours seem to have disappeared? I liked your long hair =)

Naesimo, what a cute dog you have there!!!

Blessed be the Name of YHWH

Bluesun,

Thank you! I haven't dressed the dog up in awhile. We have a new dog hopefully we will have some pics up of him soon. I wish I had taken the pics of our den after I found this pillow...it has a squirrel (which I say is a cute rat) and it has acorns on it and it says "Welcome to the Nut House". We got it because it said that and it had acorns on it. If I update it with a pic I will tell you. Plus we have more nature pics to put up.

Shalom,
Naesimo

I really enjoyed the pictures!

It was the next best thing to stopping by your house for a visit.

Shalom

Sharon,

That's funny ! We don't get alot of visitors, and when people leave they prob say "that's a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there" LOL.

We updated the pics part of the site: http://www.hopeville.net/about%20us/Pics.html I listed the changes if folks find themselves with nothing better to do.

Shalom,
Naesimo

PS-Did you see the albino squirrel? That's the second one we've ever seen. It's Thursday so maybe we'll have even more pics to add soon, we try to see the sunset on Thursdays, and now it seems Fridays too.

Very nice. I have lived here in the Nevada desert for 20+ years now and so all the green and trees and WATER look so good to me.

I have enjoyed my stay here in the desert until about a year ago. I think I am being prepared to move. For one I don't enjoy the heat as much since I am older now and seem to produce more of my own heat LOL!

And I have a dream of a community with my huge extended family and I believe YHWH put it in my heart because I am actually quite solitary by nature - greatly enjoy my own company in the presence of YAH and realize how much adaptation and getting over myself it requires to live in community.

just a little suggestion, break the habit of thinking what others think.
but if you can't then at least make it GOOD.
I always tell my kids - You ain't no fortune teller or mind reader but if you insist on doing that at least make it good.

So, I bet your visitors would probably say" that's a nice place to visit and I especially enjoyed the shalom in their home!"

Love
Shalom
Sharon

Here's me.....

Sharon,

I thought what you wrote was really nice too. I'm glad that we are going to be friends because I think I can learn alot from you.

In the desert is it like a dry heat? In the south it's heat+humidity=sultry. Sometimes it's hard to breathe and we don't like to go outside much. Do you like to garden and what kind of plants grow well in the desert? If you garden do you use special irrigation techniques? We need to learn to better utilize rain water I think, sometimes the water bill gets high in the summer.

I would like to hear more about you being solitary by nature, and how you feel you are overcoming that. If you don't mind sharing. You could email me if it would take the topic off too much.

What you said:


It sorta reminds me of what my mom would say "don't try to impress anybody and try not to depress anybody".



I like that! It does seem like you have a way with words .

Shalom & Love,
Naesimo

Okay folks, here's my ugly mug...

I imagined you quite differently (now don't misunderstand that)... but i think you once said "I'm a busy boy." (when giving a reason why you haven't changed Jesus into Yahushua)... it's good you call yourself a boy at your age though

Yes the heat is very dry.
Real tough on this freckled Irish Caucasian skin!
I love when we go to California my skin just plumps up beautifully and I look 10 years younger LOL.

I am a novice gardener and I have my little patch in the back yard. It is 1/2 flowers and half veggies and herbs.
You can grow many things here if you have shade and water. I 'll post you some pictures as soon as possible. The desert is beautiful in it's own way.

My tomatoes are doing well NOW since the nights are cool and days are 70's.

I built a mister around my little garden and I would run it during the hottest part of the day like 11 am to 2 pm. It waters as well as keeping the temperature around the garden down.

We have mandatory rules around here about water and you can get fined for inefficient uses. Like sprinklers that hit sidewalks, watering between 11 am and 7pm, and sprinklers more than one day a week in the winter.They actually have water police who will come and write you a ticket>

I do like the dry. I grew up in OHIO and I remember when things got wet they would get that moldy smell. Not here, EVERYTHING evaporates!

I have a pool and I read on the water page that if we didn't use covers for our pools and didn't refill it would evaporate the whole 19,000 gallons by fall.
I thought that was incredible.

As for my solitary by nature, I just enjoy my own company and silence.I think it is a good thing and doesn't need to be too overcome. Messiah went off to be alone with the Father regularly. I think I have a good balance in my nature. I just have to adjust my attitude when I am with people to be present and enjoy them but make sure I get my quiet time with my books or just silence.
I try to never let things inanimate (stuff) be more important than the people in my life so I have learned to lower my housekeeping expectations and be thankful for all my peoples.

I don't mind staying here in this forum since it is the fellowship forum, Ain't that what we doing? Fellowshipping.

Love & Shalom sister
Sharon

Sharon,

Thank you for calling me sister. I am looking forward to seeing your pics. I think that's a good idea about the mister. Humming birds are attracted to things like that too aren't they, I mean like sprinklers? We like to watch them. I wondered if water conservation was an issue for you. That is incredible about how the pool would evaporate. That's another bad thing about the humidity it can create a mold prob.

I apologize if I misunderstood what you said about being solitary. Are you saying what I've heard people say "if you don't take care of yourself how can you take care of others?". Is that the balance you have, taking time for yourself and being alone with Father so you have what you need to give when around others?

I hope we are fellowshipping!

Shalom & love to you,
Naesimo

PS-I think you and your husband look so cute together!!!!
