Hi,
I'm Kathy. I joined a while ago but just got my computer back so this is my first post. Does anyone live close by? I enjoy quilting, knitting, crocheting, and I'm learning how to spin. Hope to hear from other farm girls out here (and out there too).
Enjoy! |

my post must have gotten eaten.. I live in Silver Springs.. a hop, skip, and a jump away. I knit, weave, spin, crochet and am learning to quilt by hand- all of my machines need repair :-(
Once my hubby is getting around more (he broke his ankle and had to have surgery)we should get together.
Blessings, Debra

Hi everyone,
Lost my internet connection because of weather. Stagecoach is due east of the state capitol, Carson City, off Hwy 50, between Dayton and Silver Springs (the middle valley). I live in the north end at the base of the mountains. The zip is 89429 if you want to Google it. I can't get mail at my address because the post office says I don't exist. I think they just don't want to drive down the dirt road. Our place is sagebrush but in the spring I'm hoping for a wild flower meadow on a acre I've cleared. I've ordered the seed and the Division of Forestry will provide a quad with a harrow so sometime in the next couple of weeks I'll plant (I hope). I also am looking for scrap wood (because I'm cheap)to build raised beds for my garden and a chicken coop. My husband is a city boy and just watches with amusement (but he takes direction well ). I'm hoping to meet some of you in person soon. It's great to have found kindred souls.
Enjoy! |

Kathy, how long have you been in Stagecoach? We used to live off of Shirlee but moved into this house the end of September. We have only been in NV since July. We don't like it, to be honest. But we grew up in CA, then lived in Oregon for 11 years before going back to the foothills of CA for 2 years. I just can't get used to it out here.
Blessings, Debra

Hi Debra,
I've lived in Stagecoach for 2 years now. Before we lived in Indian Hills for 7 years. I'm a Navy brat so we lived all over, Hawaii to Alaska, Virginia to Japan. I had my first chickens in Japan, learned to fish and hunt in Alaska, and graduated high school in the Bay Area. I wish it was greener here so that's what I'm going to do with our forty acres. I've scrounged up lots of local resources that are affordable (read cheap) for planting. It takes a little more work here but you can achieve great results. Our home in Indian Springs was built on clay. We had to use a power auger and a jackhammer to plant. LOL But when we were done it was beautiful. In the spring crocus would come up in the lawn and it looked like a meadow. The red trumpet vine on the porch would bloom and attract humming birds, butterflies, and sphinks moths. Don't give up on Silver Springs yet.
Enjoy! |

Here we live in a cat litter box. all sand. the first house was harder- I actually liked that one better for property. but this one has a newer house- we dont' feel grubby.
We are on 5 acres of sand. So not sure what we will do. when the wind blows sand blows everywhere. thanks for the encouragement.
Blessings, Debra

Welcom Mythkat,
you will find a lot a ladies who are into spining on the form as well as other fun crafts, so jump in & have fun...
Joyfulmama, I had to laugh at your comment about your house being a "litterbox"(built on sand)....we to have 5 acres, of sandy loam,,,but the winds are herrendous out here on the "prarie" lol! We live on the outskirts of Spokane, love it, just not to kean on the winds. I am a big fan of open windows but with these winds, not such a good idea!

Hi Debra,
I know it's barren but there is an organic farm in Silver Springs. They sell shares and people work for their veggies. I bet they could give you some tips since they have the same soil. Here's the info...
Enjoy!

I buy from them- well before they shut down for the season. If we were buying this house- or planning on staying I would invest the time and money to make use of the sandy soil. But Nevada just isn't our cup of tea. Many people love it- we just miss the green.. having lived in CA most of our lives, then Oregon for 11 years, then the foothills of CA for another 2 years- we love forested areas- we love green..
Blessings, Debra

Hi Debra,
I just visited your blogs. They're great. You make really beautiful things. Have you thought of entering the State fair? It's a lot of fun and you meet great people.
Enjoy! |
