Hello there, I am new here. I'm 32, a high school teacher (English and German) and I live in a small village in rural Germany. (Saarland area, close to France and Luxemburg) I am single but live with my parents and grandparents. I have a tiny garden for herbs and some vegetables in containers and I keep chickens and pet goats (no milk or fiber or anything, just love!). I love to cook and bake and I am an avid reader and knitter.
I am very excited to have found so many kindred spirits here and I hope that farmgirls from overseas can join the sisterhood too! :)
Greetings, Nadine

Hello Nadine! I just joined the forum and I am having so much fun with it already! I love to knit as well! It feels so good to me to have a pair of knitting needles and some beautiful yarn in my hands. Well, I hope you are having a great time with the forum!

Hi Nadine, welcome to the farm. I am so excited that you found us! Your garden and animals sound lovely. I live in Indiana, am an avid knitter and am presently helping my 19 yr old daughter prepare to move to Regensburg, Germany, to participate in a study abroad program in your country.
Can't wait to hear more from you.

Hey Nadine! Welcome to MJF. Come on over to Gathered Up and click on "knitting group" Some of us are talking about starting an online knitting group together. Seems like you'll fit right in!

Welcome Nadine:
I live in Louisiana. I have 7 cats, and one dog. I refer to them as my furry children. I am a music teacher. But not working for the last three years. That's another story. Anyway, how great for you to beable to live with your parents and grandparents! I love elderly people because of their wisdom. The only grandparent I knew was my mothers mother, and she died a year before my parents died. I was in my 20's. So, I miss their wisdom, especially my fathers wisdom. This year I helped my husband in his small garden. We had tomatoes, okra, parsley, onion tops, and other herbs. We also had flowers. I am an avid reader, also. Have you read the book, "These Is My Words", by Nancy Turner? There are two other books that follow, like a sequel. You will be blown away at the story and the way the writer writes. Just wonderful. I hope you get a chance to read "These Is My Words". Have a great and wonderful and happy day.

Howdy and Welcome from SW Idaho!! This is great, farmgirls from around the world! My son has been stationed twice in Germany (at Baumholden) but currently is deployed. I also have ancestors that came from Germany. My ex's grandmother actually inherited a castle from over there somewhere! (We went our separate ways, so I never did hear where it was.)This is a great place to spend time and a lot of neat ladies. I have only been a member for a short time but I definitely feel right at home!

Welcome Nadine! I loved your website and all of your gorgeous pictures. You truly live in a postcard world! We have a dear friend who is originally from Berlin and my sister lived in Stuttgart back in the early 80's for 3 years. She loved it there.
You'll find lots of shared interests here, support and information. Keep your pictures coming!

Welcome Nadine from the Bluegrass State of Kentucky. I am a retired (7 years now) elementary teacher. I always loved it, but have been too busy to miss it much. There is sooooo much to do. I enjoy chatting with the girls on this forum. You will too.

A big, big thank you to all of your for your lovely welcome! I know I will enjoy being here and getting to know all of you! :) There will be photos of course, as soon as I can figure out how to either put them here or maybe putting them on my blog will be easier? Anyway, to get you started, you can see some pictures of the valley where I live here: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7834/2816/1600/k%3F%3Frprich%20collage.jpg
(the chickens and goats live next to each other but the photo was from before we got the goats!)

I hope this works! Let me know if not- you can also see the pictures if you check my blog for the archives: http://nadsknittingblog.blogspot.com/2006/10/yesterday-was-beautiful-fall-day-and.html

Hello Nadine! I love Germany, for reasons that my sister-friend Gabi is there! She lives in Leverkusen, but is in the Faroes right now for summer holiday..(yeah, I know...the Faroes)! Interesting how just being a farmgirl brings all types of women to one place!!! Can't wait to hear about life in my second homeland!

Hi Nadine....A big welcome from Oregon. I'm new to the farm also. Everyone is so friendly you feel right at home. Look forward to hearing more about life in Germany and your farm. I'm just learning how to knit, just the basic stuff so far. Glad you joined the forum you'll love it here.
