What Happened To 2010?!

2010 was jam packed for Meg and me. We adopted a Scandinavian Hound in July named Sundari (it means beautiful in Nepali). She is such a sweet, mellow dog. She loves to run with us, but is just as willing to veg. out after a workout.



2010 also saw us take a big plunge of a different sort...into home ownership. We bought a house here in Duluth just a 5 minute run from the Superior Hiking Trail, and some of the best single track running and biking trails around. We love our house! It has solar water heating, and passive solar heat right now. We are also looking into other impact-reducing systems like water capture and solar power. This spring we are looking forward to building big raised garden beds in the back yard!
We started a new hobby in 2010 related to our gardening and experiment in low-impact living. We became bee keepers! Bee keeping is a great way to increase your garden yield, "grow" your own honey, and help out the environment. Wild bees are not doing very well right now, so they could use our help. I will have another post about our bees, garden, and low impact living later.
