Five Years

It is hard to believe that five years ago on a very early spring day spent planning the garden, I jotted down a few notes about balance and set up a little space called Tilting at Windmills.  The time has flown and what began as a log of our garden turned into a space to record our journey into the simpler things.  Thank you to all who have taken and interest in and shared this space with me, I have met some wonderful people, many of whom I call friends. If you are new here, welcome!  I thought that there was no better time than an anniversary to link some favorite posts; the cribs notes version of this journey so far.  Happy Easter Weekend!

Blogoversary

It is hard to believe that four years ago, in an attempt to better organize our growing homestead, and keep our families up to date on daily life I began to write this blog.  The first post was balance.  Fitting, now a handful of years and a seeming lifetime later it remains a goal.  My kids have gone from babies to tweens and pre-teens.  

I have met many amazing people on this journey, who have shared in my life through writing, photography, even daily thoughts or mentions through social media.  I thank each and every one of you who take a moment out of your day to catch a glimpse of mine.   It means so much.

As part of my morning, I spent some time looking back on posts of the last four years.  This is a handful of my favorites or most momentous occasions.  It does good to look back and see how much we have learned, how far we have come, and give some perspective about what is important in this great journey of ours.

Happy writing!
