Blogiversary!

The Peace Tree Farm blog opened for business exactly three years ago today. 

In that time, I have posted 259 entries, demonstrating for all to see that I’m really not a steady blogger.  Further evidence in support of that observation comes from my SiteMeter, which shows that I am ever-so-slowly creeping toward 20,000 total visits and recently slipped past 35,000 page views.  To put that “accomplishment” in proper context, in the last hour DailyKos exceeded my three-year count of visits and nearly reached my total page views.  And today was a low-traffic day on dKos.

On my Opening Day of January 2, 2003, I introduced my blog in this way:

I can’t say what shape this enterprise will eventually take.  There are daily events worthy of comment and discussion, in a myriad of arenas, but the one or ones that inspire me to bat out a few words can’t be predicted.  It might be a political decision or it might be a baseball game; a piece of music or a magazine article; scientific research or a well-cooked meal.

Though my concerns have largely turned toward political activism in the interim, all of those topics (and others) have been addressed here at one time or another.  And they’ll all continue to be on my mind as I enter the fourth year of this blog’s existence.

Onward into the next year...
