Hello y'all. I live in Louisiana. I have 7 cats, 1 dog.
I love to read, crochet, walk, listen to music, and study music.
Helped my husband with the garden this year. Did pretty good.

Hey Marly, welcome to the forum, you will love it here. I live in Maine with my eight cats, one kid (my daughter, not a goat) and I was only in Louisiana once, but I loved it. Looking forward to getting to know you...

a plecostomus is a sucker type of fish often used to help keep your tank clean. *grin*

Hi Connie:
Thanks for that explanation. Never heard of such a fish. Good to know. I live on one and a half acres. If I had 5 acres, I would have lots more animals. Thanks for the welcome note.

| they are pretty cool fish. my daughter had a huge one named mo (for mohawk) at one time that jumped out of the tank and was laying on the floor dry. i went to pick him up with a piece of paper and he moved so i put him back in the tank and he lived for several more years! peace connie in alaska |

Welcome, Marly! My daddy was from Louisiana, Tioga, to be exact. My maiden name is "Long", like Huey P., so don't hold that against me :)....I live in Kentucky with my 4 dogs and 3 cats, and a husband, a garden and nice little cottage.
You're going to love it here!!!

Hi, Marly! A big hug and warm welcome from another Louisiana farmgirl. Where in LA are you? I'm in the Northwest part, about 10 miles south of Ringgold. We're glad to have you!

Thanks for the welcome Laura. Do y'all ever have a crawfish boil?
The crawfish were super good this season. My sweetie (husband) and I
have traveled all over the USA, and, to me, southern cooking is tops. I agree with you. How is it up there is WA.? Thanks again for the WA welcome.

Thanks for the welcome. Almost every day I learn something new. Who knew about that fish. I surely didn't. But I do now. Ha Ha. I love the farmyard. This place is super cool. Take care.

Thanks Jonni!
I love all the welcomes. This Farmyard is just so nice. Lots of friendly people. Good to know you aren't related to Huey P. Long. However, maybe it would be good to be related to him. Sounds like you have a wonderful life in Kentucky. I have 7 cats and 1 dog. Long time ago, my piano professor told me that my house was big enough for 17 cats. My husband disagrees! Ha Ha That's my goal, to have 17 cats.
Thanks again for the welcome.
Marly

Hi Elaine:
Thanks for the warm welcome. Kentucky is such a beautiful state. My husband and I have been all over the USA, but never to Kentucky. Don't you just love this site? Take care. Have a great and happy day.

| Hello...I live in Kentucky too in the country (no farm but 2 acres) We do have a small vegetable garden and have five dogs (who have no idea their dogs) 4 cats and 10 goldfish and a plecostomus (and he's getting big) !!! I have a three year old son with autism and he's already a country boy!! He's outside from early morning til dark. He doesn't have a lot of words yet but one of them is OUTSIDE!!! which means it's time for us to go PLAY!!!!! |

Hi Chris:
I live in Louisiana. We have a very small garden; tomatoes, okra, onion tops, parsley, and a few other herbs.
Hello to your son. If I could stay outside from morning to night, I would, too! Have a great day, and a happy one.
