Anna

Anna is half of the duo behind the Avian Aqua Miser.  She's a biologist and artist who dreamed about moving back into the countryside ever since her parents dragged her kicking and screaming from their family farm at the ripe old age of eight.  Since the, she moved back to the land and started a homesteading and simple living blog with her husband.

She admits that her childhood memories of farming don't really match reality --- real farm life involves a lot more hard work than the eight year old was involved in!  But the reality is also much more fulfilling and she loves harvesting her own vegetables, pigging out on sun-warmed strawberries, and bathing in the yard.  (There are many perks to living in a secluded setting.)
