Hello, Everyone tells me I should tell you a little about myself. We will be married 50 years in August, we have 3 daughtors & one son; seven grandchildren,5 grandsons, then 2 grandaughtors. We lived on farm & milked cows for about 30 years until we retired. My time is spent on knitting (now with alpaca yarn), crocheting, tatting, painting, scrapbooking & making all my cards. I recently got my computer & for two months have had DSL & really enjoy it. My daughtor Michele & niece Dawn have been on MaryJanes connection for some time. Hello to everyone.

| Happy May, everyone! It sure is nice to see somewhat Spring-like weather around our area. I am very new at this, and I doubt I will be posting profusely, but I am looking forward to seeing what other like-minded people are up to. My main vocation is caring for my 82 year old father-in-law who has Alzheimer's. My husband works at night this time of year (he's a Park Ranger) so I thought it would be nice to have someone to "chat" once Dad is in bed. I have a big garden and provide fresh food for 12 other families in the summer and fall. My 2 boys are almost grown now, and it is really nice to have their help when they are around. |

| Thanks, Tina, I couldn't get your Small Town living to load, any idea why? I live in a small town of 1000 about 40 miles from "the land of stores and shopping." One major controversy here is the 800 condo resort and golf course, etc. that our county commissioners have just approved the zoning for. Do you ever touch on the subject of giant corporations coming in and taking over a town like this? The community is divided, with many who are against it afraid to say anything because they have to live with and work for those who are for it. There is a group who has appealed the decision, but I don't see how they can ever win against a large organization that is making all kinds of promises. |

| Welcome to all you new fellow farmgirls! It's going to be so much fun to get to know all of you! If you would like a pen-pal, come on over to the 'Pen-Pals thru snail-mail' topic listed under "Across the Fence." I will pair you with a pen-pal and you can truly get in touch with other farmgirls around the nation. See you there. |

This looks like an appropriate place to say Hi, Here I am, I just joined today.
Me, briefly: I'm eighteen and in university, but every moment I can spare from studying Latin and History is spent in my garden or at the sewing machine. I'm a quilter first, but I wish I had time to master every craft out there. I'm passionate about community, faith, plants and writing. I live in a little bit of a place called Corbeil near North Bay, Ontario, Canada. Any other Farmgirls near there?
I'm so glad this community exists. |

Hi Erin,
So is it still freezing where you live at night? I've just come in from
a day in the garden, and although our daytime temps are still below normal at 59 degrees F, I think Spring is finally here. I like plants, too, I graduated with a degree in Biology from university, but plants were my favorite thing, too. Especially native plants. Do you like Ethnobotany?

Hi Joanie,
We had some freezing nights last week, but I think that was the last of it. They came after a week of gorgeous, warm weather - upwards of twenty degrees Celsius... I'm afraid I don't know what that is in Fahrenheit. Someday I'll have to sit down and learn the conversion.
I had to look up the definition of ethnobotany, but it sounds like exactly what I'm interested in. One of my majors is History, and nothing makes me happier than tracing something - a word or a quilt pattern or a plant or anything - back through time and finding all of its uses and evolutions in culture. And if a good fairy ever offered me three wishes, I know one of them would be to be an expert on plant lore.

| So, if you could get in a time machine, what era would you like to live in most? I think I would like to live where I live now, only about 100 years ago. |

Hi from Oklahoma! I am brand-new here.
Here's a little about me. I'm a little bit of a hillbilly, originally from "the sticks" in the Ohio River valley. I have been in Tulsa, Oklahoma for three years now, bought my first home, and this year have my first little garden and taking my first stab at perennials too. I found a decent sized lot at the end of a dead ends street, with really big trees and little bitty houses - so it's kind of like living in the country inside the city. :D
Joanie, great question! I think I'd like to live right where I grew up, too, but about 80 years ago. At least for little while. |

Hi from Tennessee! I am also a new member.
I was born and raised right here in a little bitty place called Culleoka, Tennessee on a 48 acre farm. I have never lived anywhere else and really can't imagine what it would be like doing so. So I would chose to live right here, but maybe in an earlier time. The farm is so laid back and relaxed, but our lives (with two boys and a hubby and schedules.....) don't seem so relaxed anymore. That would be the only thing that I would change.
The farm runs deep in my blood and I am most happy when I'm here at home.
I'm looking forward to meeting new friends here who have the same interests.
Angie

Hello Angie and Mildred,
As you can see, I am pretty new to this, too. The whole forum is so big, you can be overwhelmed sometimes. I like to grow things, especially vegetables. Today I planted 60 broccoli seedlings my dad started for me. I have about 200 more to plant of cabbage, red cabbage, kohlrabi and cauliflower. Cabbage family plants are what grows best in our cool, damp climate! |
