Hello Gail. Welcome. We have been getting to know your chickens through their new "mommy". She already has those girls spoiled. Cleaning their hineys and all that fun stuff. You should rest easy knowing this. Glad you joined us. Have fun.

Hello all. I must say I had a wonderful visit with my new farmgirl Cheryl. She hopes to get me going on this web stuff. I'm not real sure what I am doing but I can learn. The hens are great. She's done well as their new mom. I laughed when she said they actually came up to her back sliding doors and pecked for her attention. What did she get herself into? I've just got my woodstove going and am ready for a hot cup of tea and read up on chickens and their coops from books I borrowed from Cheryl. Yes, my next project is to build another coop on the southwest side of my property so they will have more sunlight So thanks again for letting me into this wonderful site and getting to know you all.

I'm just an old country girl at heart. Kinda knew that when I was 5 yrs old and lived in New York. It's just taken 50 years to finally find my little piece of heaven on 8 acres with miles of open country around me. Love it! It's a bit of work at times but would'nt trade it for anything. Planting lots of things, seeing what the deer eat or don't eat. That's a real challenge. Short season is very new to me and still trying different vegetables. Can't wait to get back out in the dirt. I must say I wear a lot of boots and hats around here. Never know what I'll get into next. Oh, I signed up to become a sister last night so hope to see what new things it will bring me.

Gail,I am glad you jumped right in with both feet, muddy boots and all. You are already a farmgirl sister...I am so glad you have decided to become a memeber of the new chapter of "Klamath Falls Charming Chicks". Cute chapter name huh? Keep posting so all these farmgirls will get to know you. You have lots of farmgirl experience wearing all those hats! Welcome Welcome Welcome!

Well I think our winter has finally gotten here. Looks like are snow is gonna stick. And yes ladies I am the other half of the kfalls Charming Chicks. We really do hope to get this going with lots more ladies. Will be a lot of fun to do different things together. When you live so far apart as a farm girl, it really is nice to meet someone like yourself (or not) that you can occassionally get with. So Monday we are off to who knows what we will get into. For sure lots of thrifting. I'm really looking forward to going to the July BBB in Coeur d'Alene. So glad I met Cheryl, this is so up my alley.

Well I have been busy buying material in hopes that I will actually get sewing again. It had been my passion for years, that and gardening. I can't say I have much of a green thumb anymore as it is real hard to garden here with such short seasons. My granddaughter is putting a blog together for me and will teach me how to use it. So when its up and going I will share it with you all.

Today my husband and I left home early to go out snowmobiling. I would have rather stayed in bed and slept. We drove hour and half, started snowing. Got two trucks and trailers stuck. Had several people to be pulled out of deep snow and one who totaled his sled. Guess next time I'll listen to the little voice in my head. Tomorrow I meet with Cheryl and we are hoping to recruit some more farmgirls to our chapter. Wish us luck.

Hello MB. I'm glad Cheryl got me going also. Hi Jacqueline I'm really glad you decided to join us. Like Cheryl says, we are spread out across the state but with this forum we can all chat and feel like we are close by. Maybe someday when we are over in Medford we will visit your place. In the meantime enjoy all the great topics and women you will meet on this site. Keep posting.

Well after cutting some kindling and stacking a wood pile on the porch for the week i think its time for another cup of hot tea. I did get my treadle sewing machine ready for my grocery bag swap. It has been many years since I've sewn but I'm confident it will all come back to me. The sun is shining with snow on the ground. Looks real pretty. But before that cup of tea, I must go and check my mail to see if my Sister badge has arrived. I recieved my bumper sticker and certificate at our last chapter meeting. Still hoping more farm ladies will join us.
Wish me luck!
