About Me

My photo
Di
Welcome to my houseblog! Our home is a 1920-something Foursquare located near South Bend, IN. Although it is in very good shape structurally, some of the previous owners made dysfunctional improvements over the years. The last owners started to straighten things out, but were forced to relocate before they got very far. My husband and I are working on finishing the job and restoring our home to as much of its original appearance as is possible and practical. We are also moving towards leading a healthier, more sustainable life. This includes eating local organic produce and meats, and learning to grow our own foods. We're also learning to examine our lifestyle and make more deliberate choices.
