I figured that last number was worth noting--with a facts and figures type post, of course. I
do love personal statistics. Its amazing to me that its possible I've crafted 1,000 posts here though. I
am a bit of a chatterbox. I
am very enthusiastic about my simple life. I love to share my photographs. Still, I find it remarkable that five years of life has been chronicled here in these thousand posts--family and friends loved and lost, fantastic homegrown meals nurtured and consumed, skills acquired, nature's marvels explored and gloried in, a marriage made official, a home getting settled...a life lived and cherished! What will the next thousand bring, I wonder...
While I generally try to write for myself, as if no one is reading, I would be remiss were I not to offer a heartfelt thanks to all of you--from near and far, new friends and old--for taking the time to read my rambling thoughts. It is quite the community that I've found through this blog--in my own town and across the globe. It has been a very meaningful, valuable experience for me. It is something which I didn't exactly expect when I started, but for which I am very grateful.
