Conclusions & Ideas

Hello? Hello? Anyone still out there? I’ve reached a conclusion. Well, several. Here goes.

1. I enjoy blogging. I enjoy the writing. I enjoy the capturing of memories and stories and the little random things that make up our day. 
2. I need to blog more often. If I enjoy it, why not make more time for it?
3. But even for as much as I enjoy it, I tend to only feel like doing it in "fits and spurts".

So, I’m going to try something new. A different approach. I’m going to try writing posts as I feel like it and schedule them to post every few days. Hopefully that will accommodate my varying levels of interest when it comes to writing, and it will help to evenly distribute some fresh content on this here bloggy. 

In other words, hopefully the blog won’t be silent for months and months (AND MONTHS) at a time.

I’ve also reached another conclusion. Well, maybe more of a decision.

I think I’m going to start referring to our happy little home as a “farm” or maybe even “the homestead”. Something with more of a “country” feel to it. Do we have crops? Not really, unless you count the two fields the neighbor grows hay on. Do we raise animals? No, or at least, not yet. We’ve contemplated chickens but they’re not on the timeline any time soon. But we do have a pretty large sized garden. And we’ve got a few dozen apple trees. And who could forget the 100+ blueberry bushes! And when you consider that we do have 20+ acres, I think we can safely consider ourselves to have more than just a “home”.

So there you have it. Some conclusions. Some ideas. Some fresh content. 

Hope you’ll come back again soon and check it out!

Welcome to my new home!

Welcome to my new home on the web!

For various reasons, I've decided to essentially walk away from my previous blog and start up a new one. I was feeling the need to be more discrete or anonymous. In fact, just this morning I saw on the news where criminals are trolling sites like Facebook and Twitter to look for easy targets, for everything from scams to outright robbery. Also, since I'm in the process of finding myself a new job, I would like to maintain more of a low-profile web presence. For the time being, my previous blog will still be around as more of a reference point for myself, but I won't be posting there.

No worries, though - I'll be sharing the same type of content regarding my domestic ramblings and whatnot, and you're always welcome to share your thoughts. You can still expect to find updates on what I've been up to, especially in the kitchen. But, you won't find any full names of people or places, as a part of my effort to be anonymous and protect both myself and my readers. For example, I have friends who are teachers, and they would rather not be "found" on the internet by their students (or the students' parents).

Since I welcome your thoughts, and do want to encourage conversation, there is an email address off to the side. Feel free to email me with any of your thoughts or questions. If I ever reference an event or a place that you might be interested in, just shoot me a note and we can talk more "off line".

Enough of the "official-ness". On to the blogging and good times!
