Hello All,
I am a new Farmgirl, and very thrilled to be so. I do not live on a farm, but it has been my dream my entire life. Instead, I have had small gardens where ever I have lived. I love dirt. Do you love dirt? Is it weird to love dirt?
Hugs,
Terri

Hi Terri,
Here's a hello to add to your garden of hellos from Northern California where the dirt is plenty wet right now from a week of wind and rain that has come our way since Monday.
No rays of sunshine either around at presently but when you visit here, there's always the feeling of sunshine beaming down from ou Farmgirl Sisters who make it just that much warmer and sunnier!
I know you'll enjoy visiting this sunny place often where there is lots to enjoy and smile about just like in a garden of flowers all radiantly in bloom!

When I was in college, one of my professors said that the first thing you do in your new job is plant a garden -- to keep you rooted. He may have been on to something.

Welcome Terri!
No, definitely not weird to love the dirt - perhaps a better word is soil or earth, in which all things grow and make life possible.
Do I love "dirt"? Not dirty dirt which is why I clean the house and the kitchen floor but soil dirt, a definite yes! I love to garden, and doesn't the earth smell simply wonderful after a Spring rain!
I love your quote!

Hi all, I'm new here too, it looks like a fun place to be. I wish I had thought of a cute or clever name, I see so many sisters with great user names. I live in up state NY, we rent a little house from a retired farmer, so this past year he let us use his barn and we raised three bulls, our first time. We also have chickens, we've had them for about a year and a half. We had a burbon red turkey, too, but unfortunatly he died. We also tried having ducks, but a racoon wanted them more, so sad  . I am 50 years young, and I have always wanted to live the farm life, so has my husband, it's the second time around for both of us, so we say we should have ment years ago. We have a house that is a fixer-uper, so we are working on that. I love dirts also, and I can't wait till spring to get out and start the garden. This past fall I canned for the first time, it was great!Anyway just wanted to say hay and look forward to reading your posts and writing to all of you. |

Greetings from Maine,
where most of the dirt is covered with about 6 feet of snow.
I too love dirt--though I could use less on my car right now.
Glad to have you here Terri and all newcomers.
I have only been around for a couple months myself.
It's fun. I know you'll like it.
Warmly,
Karen

Hi I'm a new farm girl from east Texas . I'm so excited to find new friends here . I raise Nigerian dwarf goats and have a small hobby farm filled with my favorite things . I love antiques , gardening , reading , cooking and anything homemade . One of the best things I have done this year is go to Waco and take classes there at their homestead school . It's fantastic , if you want to learn how to do anything the women there no how to do it . I'm going back in April to take their cheesmaking classes .

Hello Terri,
It's -35 here today and I have been digging and re-potting house plants so I can smell the dirt. I love it too. It's the only way I make it through our long cold winters. I have found so much helpful information here I know you will love it like I do.
Blessings to you,
Marji

Thank you Ruth! I've been going through the pictures of my flowers too, as it AGAIN is snowing outside and 21 degrees. It is afterall winter. My husband loves the snow and would move further north if he could. (What is the matter with that man?) I need to be getting out with the grass, veggies, trees, flowers, birds, weeds and gophers. Oh well....not everything is perfect!

Janet, welcome to the groups. Golly, it is great that you are a Master Gardener. Think I would really like to do that. So I am sending both you Janet and you Terri a virtual flower from my garden....a poppy.
