It’s a Goethe saying, I think. And it’s stuck with me. So here I am, one year and four months after moving from New York City to Vermont and I’m finally starting a blog. Here’s where I’ll attempt to chronicle what happens when city folk - a couple with two kids and a dog - decide to trade in their urban existence and move to ten acres in rural Vermont. It’s been a year and four months, don’t forget. The initial shock and rose colored glasses have fallen away. Now we are “in” it, trying to figure out life in the green mountain state, struggling some but having fun along the way. So there, Goethe. We have begun.
