Homecoming

This blog came to fruition several years ago, when Wes and I were 'on the way to somewhere.' We were living in southern California, in transition, with no real knowledge of where we might end up. And what followed were several more years of transitory living, knowing in our heart of hearts that the lands we tread would not be our family's long term home. (Okay, that makes us sound like nomads in the truest sense of the word, but you get my meaning.) And here we are now, in middle America, literally a hop, skip and jump from family we previously imagined only being able to see on major holidays. And this is it. We've arrived. We've come not only to the home of our past, but also to the home of the Kendall family future.

Wes could articulate this all much better than I, but he's in a meeting, and I'm the one with a free moment, a fast internet connection, and no childcare responsibilities. Suffice it to say, we are happily planting ourselves on a little plot of earth in Greencastle, Indiana, for all of the foreseeable future. Our life's work here is becoming more and more clear all the time, and in that vein, we've decided to make this blog solely about our family's endeavors at a sustainable life on this wee farm outside of town. Wes will do his writing primarily over at the church blog, and we pledge to get some form of internet connection at the house so that posts won't be so few and far between.

And now for a few teasers: We are coming up on the one year anniversary of moving into the farmhouse. Expect to see some before/after photos coming up by the beginning of March. And, for those of you who don't already know, I've committed to attempting pastured poultry for our family's egg supply, and will be receiving an order of fuzzy chicks the third week in March. Much of that documentation here will be entertaining, I'm sure.

Until next time!
