The Cardinal Greenway: Indiana’s 62 Mile Trail
The Cardinal Greenway is Indiana's longest recreational trail and it’s only a two minute walk from my house. At 62 miles, this trail is serious but oh-so beautiful. I can’t get enough, especially at this time of year with the fall leaves. Come check out why this is truly spectacular and I encourage you to take a stroll if you’re ever in the area (or a bike ride because it’s awesome for that too!).

A Natural Privacy Fence: Thuja Green Giants
Have you ever done something that took years to see results? Planting hundreds of Thuja Green saplings along my Tennessee property line back in 2012 is definitely one of those things for me. Here we are almost 10 years later and 15 feet taller and I could not be more proud! While I no longer live in Tennessee, I was lucky that my parents now live in the home and I’m able to continue to watch the growth of these trees and see my vision come into fruition.

Good ol’ Rocky Top: Our Tennessee Home (2011-2019)
Living in Tennessee for 35 years taught me a lot about myself. For the last decade of time there, my husband and I flipped an 1800s depleted farm house. I learned more than I could ever summarize in a blog post. This time in my life defined me in more ways than one and helped me discover what I wanted in life. This post is to honor my time in my Niota, Tennessee home. Enjoy some before and after shots of us not knowing what the heck we were doing.
