Dear Farm Journal,

This afternoon we slid the front door onto G4 and headed to the Kickapoo Valley Reserve for a snowy hike shimmered by the afternoon sunlight. We tromped through millions of fluffy snowflakes and enjoyed our unique companionship, surrounded by beauty, giving our minds and bodies the thrill of outdoor goodness. I find myself wondering why people don’t want a life like this…disconnected from tech, spending time outside, connecting with nature, going on adventures, witnessing  the miracles of each season, stargazing, listening for the quiet peppered with songbird tweets…the ones that you won’t find on the internet.
