Yep. They are very productive and fun to have around too.

Enorah,
I don’t know if you will see this or not, but I wonder if I could ask you some questions about Ojai. I have recently been feeling like I am being “called” to Ojai. I have this belief that it will be a healthier place to live for my family. I have had multiple “signs” recently that have me thinking that this is where we will be happy.

I decided to use the computer as a magic 8 ball, and typed in “move to Ojai”, and your post came up about your being “called to Ojai”. I am taking it as another sign, since I have been using that phrase, “being called to Ojai”, a lot recently.

I wonder if you wouldn’t mind confirming or dispelling some ideas I have about the area.

I want to be less of a tax on the environment and live somewhere that we can walk or bike to most of what we need. I want to raise my kids in a community that encourages that way of thinking instead of being bombarde with ideas that the only way for things to get better is to be a constant consumer of cheaply manufactured crap. We would like to switch most of our diet to local and organic and delicious foods, and find other people that are interested in that as well. We also value learning, not only academically, but also cultural and environmental experiences. We want to live somewhere where weekends are bike rides and horseback, maybe golf or a trip to the lake. Not video games and a constant struggle to come up with something to do in the gray rain (we live in Seattle now).
Mostly, I want to sit outside and eat a hot tomato of the vine, drink a glass of wine and and watch my kids play with the dog more than 6 weeks out of the year.
Is this a fantasy, or is that what it is like in Ojai? I would love to hear more about what your experience has been like.

Lastly, You mentioned in one post that it is H-O-T. How hot and for how long? I could really use some HOT right now. It is July 6th, and the first day the sun has been out in what seems like months.

I know this is a lot to ask, but any feedback would be appreciated. I hope you are enjoying your new life in Ojai.

Best,
Dana
