Welcome to Living on the Diagonal, a blog about my take on life (in prose and poetry), gardening, recipes, what life is like up here on our mountainside (that picture you see above is our neighbor’s cow pasture and Christmas tree farm—see, we really do live on the diagonal), modern homesteading, and photographs. Photographs like these:

“What,” you say, “gardening, poetry, modern homesteading, photography, personal reflections? All  that in a blog?” Yep, all that and more. Like me, Living on the Diagonal is a real melange, a hodgepodge, a potpourri. Maybe a little something for everybody. Hopefully, something for you. Please join me for the adventure.
