This has actually been in the works (in my mind) for a long time. An embarassingly long time. You may even recall a blog post to the effect that some interesting changes were coming down the pike…Well, two years later, I finally took the plunge.

I really resist change. And even something as simple as changing the name of my blog from “Homestead Diaries” to “Song Dog Journal” took a literal two years to make happen. It might not seem like a big deal, but it really is, at least to me. And I’m thrilled.

The intent behind the name change is multi-fold, but the main intent was to broaden the feel of the page to fit the scope of the content I write. A lot of times, my content has nothing to do with the “homestead,” per se.

So welcome to the Song Dog Journal. I’m so excited to get back to doing something that I love, and which hopefully blesses others half as much as it blesses me.
