Hi there, I’ve got a yen for design & farming. My name is Robert DuBois. Here I post things that I find interesting and beautiful. Occasionally I’ll post something of my own as well – if you’d like to see a more complete selection of my work, click “portfolio” (hint: look up and then right). I write about the farming life at Spoon! Shovel!
