Hi, My name is Rie...I live in upstate NY with my dh. We have 6 children but they are all grown, only one is still living at home while going to college.
We raise beef cows and then pigs in the summer months, we used to be a dairy farm, but dh got tired of milking cows after 30 years of it.
I keep a very large organic vegetable garden and love to can or freeze most everything out of it. I enjoy quilting, crocheting, cross stitch and reading.
I look forward to making new friends here!! |

Howdy from Texas Rie! We're so glad you made it-we were just waiting for you! It sounds like you certainly have a busy life. I have four kids-all mine are grown too, but the twins still live at home while they go to school. I hope you find yourself right at home here~kate

Welcome Rie!! Pretty name by the way!! I just know you will love it here!! My husband would get along fine with yours...he is tired of milking our ONE cow after only 2 years..haha. Actually he rarely milks, and she is dry right now so he is getting a break. You are going to fit right in here...sounds like you have alot in common with us!! Welcome!

Welcome, Rie, from a central Kentucky farm girl. I have been "chopping out" my garden this evening after the sun was way down and it had cooled off some. It looks pretty good--a few potato bugs. Do you raise potatoes? If so, what do you do for the bugs?

Nice to have you here!!! I always have pictured New York being one big city with no trees or grass, but I am glad to know that there are Farmgirls there too! I don't get out of my little corner of the world too much so maybe I need to travel more huh? :)
