It is the middle of my second semester studying Historic Preservation and many responsibilities have started to fall on me. Work, applications, conferences, student organizations, writing and studying when added to an active social life and a cantankerous family at my parents’ home will make for some light blogging in the next month or two.

The perspective of this blog is simply one of stewardship. The care and maintenance of the built and the unbuilt environment are essentially complementary and necessary for basic human health, happiness and long-term survival.  Also buildings and flowers are pretty.
