It was a fun weekend of learning and building a website. I have no idea what I'm doing, but its going well so far! The blogging is by far something that I never ever thought I'd find myself doing, but here I am. I feel like it is some kind of weird diary, but one the entire world has the stupid little key that you lost long ago. This blog will cover projects and adventures out on the "farm." Even though it is still just a property that is mostly trees, I need to just start calling it something. "The land" just is starting to sound like a jar of stale cookies on the back shelf. So a blog was born because of a personal internal argument with semantics. Not just a blog either, but an entire name for the farm, an eventual website, a domain name, and maybe even an email if I really want to make things serious.
A name: Frutteto Farms.
Frutteto is Italian for orchard. Farm because it started with F. I considered Orchard instead of Farm, but as much as I like the nerdy literal translation to Orchard Orchard, it just did not get stuck in my head the same.
Instant Problem: Everyone, including myself every time I type it, spells it wrong constantly. It seems to just be one of those annoying words! So I figured that frustration needed to be redirected... a slogan was born:
Hard to spell, Hard to forget.
Thanks Mom for taking this picture!
Unfortunately the first post must also end on a sad note. The amazing white tree that stood along side the field and that I used as my cover page picture was blown over in a wind storm. Apparently wind is stronger than a cool dead tree. So now it is lying on its side...Ironically half into the cemetery behind it. Time to plant something new in its place.
