THIS STORY ALL BEGAN...
...while I was out on a date playing music with a young man I had just met who was in his mid-twenties, (by the way I married that wonderful man and I'm still living happily ever after!) and who while playing his guitar sang out a song for me with these lyrics by Neil Young:
"Country girl I think you're pretty,
Got to make you understand,
Have no lovers in the city,
Let me be your country man."
Got to make you understand,
Have no lovers in the city,
Let me be your country man."
~ I had been living a crazy fast-paced "City-Girl" lifestyle, but as I listened to his "Country Girl" song I felt a stirring inside as the song brought back to me gentle memories of who I really was at heart... just a "Country Girl".
That was way back in May of 1978, and now it is 31 years later in 2009!
Well I was raised a "Country Girl", harvesting, then drying or canning the fruit from the orchards of cherries, pears, plums and apples, and picking blackberries and strawberries by the many many pounds for the wonderful preserves and home-made wine, along with raising chickens for their wonderful eggs, and growing produce organically for canning and freezing long before it was even considered fashionable and as the best way to grow them. And I also worked on a farm that specialized in succession planting from the time I was 12 until I was 16.
Then as a mother, I raised my children in all the ways that a "Country Girl/Mama" should, but when my children "flew the coop" (so to speak) I gave away all my livestock, temporarily shut down my organic farm dream, then spent a 7 year stint doing a 40 mile commute to the city Monday through Friday to earn some extra money to pour into the farm so that all of my "Country Girl" dreams could be fulfilled to their fullest!
And now I'm back!!! Yes, I'm walking in the joy of my old dream of Sustainable Living, Organic Farming, and having Pasture-Raised hens for their wonderful eggs, and I'm aiming to go for a couple of Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats for their awesome raw milk and to make my own artisan cheeses!!!
This picture was taken just before we moved onto our farm back in March of 1994. 
Then this picture was taken in June of 2005 during my city-girl season...
My how the years fly by!
