Sometimes you just need to make a big choice, and this restart is it. Last year was tough, to put it nicely, and none of it was my choice. In the chaos of the aftermath I chose to buy an old farm house with some land in Southern Indiana between Indiana University and hills of Brown County.

This is our new adventure.

We have lots of plans, lots of work, and lots of learning to do. Hopefully this will grow and expand to accommodate our not-yet-in-writing business plan for the Hobby Farm. The plan is to share stories of our successes, joys, frustrations, and failures.
