1. Oregon, it's a beautiful place to live. It rains, it's sunny, and it snows.
2. I have two kids and a wonderful husband. I have been with my hubby for 12 years (since he was 15 and I was 17) We have been married for 8 years now.
3. We don't have much of a farm right now, but I am hoping to change that soon!
4. I would start a rescue, I love animals!
5. I built a chicken coop with my hubby, I would love to build again
6. I can't, but my hubby does
7. My Aunt, I stayed with her for a while when I was a kid (my mom was in the hospital and so she took care of me, since my Dad had to work) She had a herd of goats, some cows, sheep, ducks, chickens, doves, and she would take care of any wild animals that were injured.
8. When I get going again, it will be a hobby
9. I won't say that I know a lot about much, I am constantly learning though. I would love to learn more about sheep, goats, and pigs.
10. Growing vegetables or trees or lawns for a living
11. Yes, and I can't wait, it is my dream, has been my whole life
12. When I had my goats, I loved to sit on the hill and watch them play and eat. I also love to sit outside with my dogs and play with them. I love listening to the forest that is behind us.
13. No, but I would love to. My parent's have a tractor, but it's my Dad's baby.
14. I wish that I had time to do that, but I don't
15. I wouldn't have enough room for cows, and I am sure my neighbors wouldn't be ok with pigs. lol I would love to get more goats and chickens again.
16. I did when I was a teen with my Dad, we made a bat, and some table legs
17. I do love to garden, but I have to admit I HATE weeding. I love to grow tomatoes
18. Yes, I love fishing. Bait
19. It's a country farm
20. No I do not do wood work
21. Yes, as long as it works
22. It wouldn't matter where, just as long as I have enough acreage to have a huge farm
23. We have a wood stove that we use for when it gets really cold
24. Someone that could save all the neglected animals
25. Yes, but not as much as I am
26. I love to cook, it makes me feel good to cook and bake from scratch. I would love to have it to where all my animals produce everything that I need.
27. My goat Lil Lady. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. To be honest I haven't had a worst, hope I never will. People tell me all the time I have something special with animals
28. My husband and I used to hunt, but with his job, it's hard to. His busy season is during hunting season
29. None that I know of
30. When my parents have a cow to split, we go help. My husband kills and cuts, I package the meat
31. No we don't, we would love to though
32. To do list, everyday is taking care of kids, the house, the animals, and bake/clean. My wish list is getting more animals and starting a rescue
33. No we haven't, yes we would
34. My husband, kids, parent's and two sisters, and of coarse my animals
35. Yes, I try to, and if I can't, I get my hubby's help
36. Yes they have. My kids as well. I had my kids watch the process of an animal being cut up (I don't believe in making them watch it die though, if they want to watch, I will let them) It changed them. They make sure to eat all there meat now.
Just a note, I love talking to people, I think it's great to meet new people. I love to laugh. I can be a little sensitive at times. I love animals. I love to help others and animals any time that I can. I hope that I can start talking with some of you.

Today it is cold, but so beautiful outside. The sun is out, and we have blue sky. We have frost all on the ground, it almost look like snow. My boys (dogs) love to play outside when it's this cold. They play with my neighbors horse along the fence. I am so excited, we get our two female guinea pigs this Thursday, so we have everything that they need. One of them is for my older daughter for Christmas, so I plan on getting them, and surprising her when she gets home from school. :woot I really miss my goats. So any of you that would love to share pictures or stories, I would love it. I am a tom boy, and always will be. I love country music. Anything that you would like to talk about or know about me, ask. I really do love talking to people. Have a great day everyone.
