Hello!
I work at a public library and found MaryJanesBook when I was typing up its spine label, got my paws on it and completely fell in love. Hooray for the Book!
I grew up on a 7-acre "farm" with occasional sheep, horse, cattle, cats, dogs and garden. I now live in a 2-br apartment and long for the days when I can have some outdoor space again. In the meantime I work and teach crochet classes.
I'm really excited to find a forum for Farmgirls--one that's got so many topics. Hooray!

Welcome Kathy,
Great book, Huh!
Nice to hear the libraries are getting the book in.
My copy sits on my foot stool always ready to go when I have a few minutes to read.
Even though you don't have outdoor space, the dream is still there and I'm sure will happen for you.
Enjoy the forum.

Hi Kathy - We have family in Cherry Valley. My hubby grew up in your area. We have been in the Dekalb area many times, about once a year. I have spent time driving the farm roads and photographing barns.
Welcome to you in Illinois, my home state! Keep posting and telling us about your farmgirl dreams.
