Hi,
My name is Jane and I live in Petaluma, CA and wish that I lived on a farm. But I don't, so the best thing is to appreciate what I do have and enjoy, and I do.
I'm a mom to 4 kids and a granny to 3 grandsons. Only animals are birds and fish due to the rental agreement. But I would love to raise sheep and chickens.
I love to bake, garden and to make things. Sewing, embroidery, knitting and mosaics are my top four.
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone here and sharing.
Take care,
Jane

Welcome to our virtual front porch, Jane!
And hello from another California/Bay area Farmgirl. And I am not yet on any kind of a farm, either. 
Petaluma is such a lovely little place, & you are so close to the wine country - one of my favorite places anywhere.
Looking forward to hearing more about you......

Hi Jane,
I'm Kate. I'm also new here. Been reading a lot today! This is a great site. I see you like chickens and sheep! I have chickens. But no sheep yet. I so much want them. Aren't they beautiful? I've always wanted to learn to spin... Nice to meet you! Kate~
