Thought I'd drop in, say "hi" and introduce myself. I live in north Florida, near Tallahassee (20 miles or so) - in the country, but not far enough out. My family has 6 dogs, 2 cats (1 inside), 2 pet rabbits, 2 inside pet birds, freshwater fish, 2 goats, 5 pet ducks, turkeys and a bunch of chickens. Anybody want some SilkieXfrizzle bantam crosses?
We're planning on going into the turkey raising business soon - small time, of course.
I like to read, surf the net, garden, do needlework, quilt, bake, and can stuff like jams and bread and butter pickles. Also do a lot of dehydrating. Recently, I've started developing an interest in shooting sports(archery, modern rifles, and blackpowder). I also recently took a Introduction to Fly Fishing class at BOW this past weekend and am looking forward to learning more about it.
It's nice to read everyone's posts. |

Welcome Connie! You sure sound like an interesting gal. I too have always wanted to try fly fishing. I used to make lures for my older brother years ago. I'd like to get back into that and archery sound fun too. You'll fit right in here, and I can't wait to hear more about you. Lu

Welcome Connie!
It sounds like you have quite the menagerie at your place! I can't wait to get to know you better through the forums. You also seem to have a lot of really interesting hobbies. Are you just doing target practice with your archery or do you hunt as well?

Hi Connie! It's always good to have another farmgirl! What kind of birds do you have? I'm a part time caretaker for a crazy cockatoo! :)
