Hi everyone from the mountains of NC. My name is Jeanna and I can't wait to get to know all you farmgirls. My husband and I live on a rented farm of 32 acres at the moment. We used to own a small 7 acre hillside farm but because I have some medical issues were not able to hold on to it. We have a dukes mixture around here with chickens--how many I lost count at about 60+, rabbits ( only for pets), cows about 14 at last count, 5 goats although I am only milking one, 2 4-H sheep, 2 hogs--good eating this winter, 1 horse--who has a tendency to have people stop to inform us that he is dead--he is not. Also 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 1 kitten. We grow all we can and I love to can our extra for the winter months. I also love to sew/quilt. My husband and I just celebrated our 19th anniversary on Tuesday and we have 2 children. 1 son that will be 17 this comming Tuesday and 1 daughter who will be 12 in July. Our son is one who can't wait to be away from the farm and our daughter is already making plans for a farm of her own. Well I have rambled enough. Oh one more thing. Buy Mary Janes book. You will not be disappointed. I picked mine up from my local small town bookstore yesterday and am already over half way through it. LOVE IT-LOVE IT-LOVE IT. Enough said.
Talk to you all over the garden gate. Jeanna |

Welcome Jeanna! North Carolina is so beautiful. We stay in cabins near Otto, and love to travel all around that area. So peaceful. So lucky you are to have a farm in the mountains!
Can't wait to hear more from you! jpbluesky

Hi Jeanna and Welcome! You made me laugh out loud with your dead-not dead horse...we have a dog like that! Your little patch of Eden sounds wonderful. I have never been to N. Carolina but my dh lived in S.Carolina and loved the whole area. I'll look forward to hearing more from you!
with a happy heart |

Hi Jeanna, I probably don't live to far from you. I am in the middle of SC but born and raised on the coast of NC. I have goats, chickens,cats and a pet alligator, yeah, I know, I am a little crazy. We live in the middle of the woods with a pond. Love it here. Welcome to this site, you will really enjoy it. Really nice group of girls here.

Welcome, Jeanna! North Carolina is beautiful! I spent a week there with my folks while my stepdad was at Chapel Hill for his sabbatical.
