Gold Hill

It's been a year. What is the saying?
"The days are long and the years are short."
So true.

We've officially survived our first winter here in Gold Hill. 400 square foot cabin, no bathroom, a crib in our kitchen.

Here is the Who, What, When, Where and Why.

Who: The main characters of this blog. Todd, our son Jett and Myself, with regular appearances by our neighbors, my parents. We also have 4 dogs, 16 hens, 1 rooster, at least one bear, 1 friendly red fox, a black fox with a new litter of pups, etc...

What: A blog about our very simple and very complicated, somewhat chaotic life.

When: We moved here in July 2010 and plan to live here until... well indefinitely.

Where: Gold Hill, Colorado. Population 230. Located 10 Miles Northwest of Boulder. perched on a mountainside above Sunshine Canyon at an elevation of 8,300 feet.

Why: Why Not? Actually, with a baby on the way, we decided to simplify. We rented out our houses in Boulder and Arvada and in return we live a simpler life that allows us to live, laugh, love and learn with our now 8 month old son, Jett. So worth it.

With Giddy Love,
