Even though it's been a looong (sigh) time since I've been on an academic year, I still think of fall of a time of new beginnings- a bouquet of pencils, a new Trapper Keeper, crispy jeans. It's a perfect time to start a new project. Here's my project. I wanted to start a blog so that I would be pushed to report on the small things that make life sweet. I'm calling it Sweet Heartland because (at the moment) I live in the midwest. But I also think that any place you feel a connection to is a Heartland.
