What is a Maplotter?

According to the Urban Dictionary - it is the following:

Urban Dictionary: maplotter

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=maplotter

7 Mar 2016 - A person who lives in a run down plot with no shoes and a broken fence. Usually surrounded by chickens and malnourished dogs.

So what I find so funny about this definition is that it comes from an URBAN dictionary, who obviously have never been outside a city/urban area. It is also a bit difficult to live IN a plot, we prefer to live ON the plot.

Another funny thing is that the run-down plot in the definition has no shoes and a broken fence. I have never seen a plot WITH shoes, but hey - I do have a little shoe-garden on my plot, so sure it will count.

As for the chickens - they got that one right, especially on my plot where I have some chickens, but luckily they are not aggressive and never surround me.

Lastly - the only malnourished thing on my plot escaped through the broken fence - so now we only have well-nourished animals left. (Including me - hie-hie-hie)

Aaaahhhh - I love my life as a Maplotter. I love my chickens, my ducks, my little pigs, my doggies, cats, hubbie. I love the space, the sunsets, the wind through the massive trees. I love the magic of growing food, being creative and finding solution to everyday challenges on the plot.

It has been a while since I was active on my blog, but I am still the same crazy person trying to pack as much into life as I can. So I invite you to join me on my journey again as I tackle the following BIG questions in life:

1) How can I get things for free or gift others things for free?

2) Can I become self-sufficient enough to live off the grid?

3) Is it possible to make recycling fun?

4) Should we live a magical life and what does it mean?

5) Where can I find fun and joy in everyday life and spread it like farm butter to share with those around me?

Talk to you soon - and the wonderful topic is going to be all about socks. I know - does not sound exciting but have you ever tried to think like a sock? Socks are brave, courageous and fun. They are handy, necessary and love to play games. It is almost impossible for a sock to die!!!! They serve humankind in many ways and life would be terrible without them. But more sockery in my next blog.
