When I first started this blog, I intended to write mostly about gardening – it is how I relax, enjoy nature, meditate on God’s word, and simply enjoy being quiet.

Unless I’m gardening with my kids. Then, I forget about the quiet.

But, since I’m stuck out here in the middle of nowhere, often times with no one with whom to get on a soapbox and talk about the things that frustrate, excite, or inflame me, I’ve decided that this is where I’m going to “get it all out.”

So, for better or worse, this blog will occasionally be about gardening. The rest of the time it will be about whatever else is on my mind. What a difference from when I was growing up, when we wrote in our diaries and locked them up with a key and hid them. It is so normal, now, to just throw it all out in the open.

I don’t expect to have a huge readership. But I do expect to at least be able to vent.

Seriously, I’m like the writer for the local school paper that no one reads- but at least I’m having fun.
