Hi "Wildflowers"
I was looking for a Hen House in TN, but no luck. I got such a warm welcome and encouragement from some of the Wildflowers, I decided to join and here I am. I have been a Farmgirl for some time, off and on....but work got in the way often. I am now retired and relocated from NC to TN. My husband and I live in an 1899 farmhouse in a semi rural part of East TN near Knoxville. When we lived in NC we had goats, chickens and guinea hens, while raising 2 boys. With retirement,the boys settled and married, comes the plan to travel more. (Glamping hopefully). I enjoy any type of crafting, gardening, cooking, junketing and re-purposing vintage treasures. So looking forward to making new friends as a Wildflower.
God made rainy days so gardeners could get the housework done. ~Author Unknown

Hi Joan!
I am a newbie in this hen house too. I'd love to find a bit different farmhouse than the one we are in. I bet yours is beautiful.

We have accumulated somewhere around 6 or 7 inches since last night with more in the forecast. Wouldn't be bad but it is heavy for shoveling and the wind chill makes it much worse.  |

| Denise, do you usually get a drier snow? When we get to enjoy snow it is usually wet, but it is a rare treat. |

| We usually get wet snow. The kids love it because it is good for making snowmen! |

| My sister sent me a picture earlier... her kids made a snow princess... the bottom looked like a scalloped full skirt and it was wearing a tiara! |

| Cute. Someone put a short video on Facebook of deer running in the streets of DC, people sledding on Capitol Hill, and a giant panda at the national zoo frolicking in the snow. So cute! |

| Seems like everyone is faring well in the snow. Sun is shining here today, but cold. Joyce where do you live in BC? I was born in North Vancouver, lived there till I was 20. |

Welcome Joan! I'm so happy you've joined our group! I spent a couple months in Knoxville when I was in high school. It's very pretty in TN.
Can you email me your address so I can send you a welcome packet? Shannon has a list of birthdays and anniversaries also, so send that info to her with your address if you'd like to be included in that list. |
