I am so excited to have found this site...

I was a city girl but have lived in a village that has a population of just under 4,000 people for almost 24 years. We live on 3/4 of an acre, but it still has the feel of country living. I'm hoping to get some tips about gardening and canning mostly. I can't wait to really be able to spend more time looking around this site.

Hey, Judy!

I see you love photography, horses, gardening and homemade laundry soap!

I made the detergent last year after one of my friends gave me the recipe and have about a dozen other ladies using it now!

Your horses are quarter horses? I have two Appaloosas and a Paint. My troops are mainly retired and just eat and poop! LOL

My relatives in Germany grow asparagus but they harvest them when they're still in the ground (only the tip peeks up). They dig them up and they're white and taste a little different. I never bothered to ask them if that's a different variety..hmmmm..will need to check that out! That's what's so much fun about this forum...always keeps your mind going! LOL

Come visit me at
Curly Willows Ranch it seems like we may have lots in common!
