About Me
- Name: Farmgirl Susan
- Location: Missouri, United States
Nearly everyone dreams of moving to the country at some point, but few people are crazy enough to actually do it. I'm one of those few. In 1994, when I was 26, I sold my little bakery cafe, packed up 200 boxes of books & antiques, & waved goodbye to my native California. Armed with a very basic knowledge of gardening, an overenthusiastic sense of adventure, & lots of naivete, I ended up on a 280-acre, 140-year-old farm in the middle of nowhere. I became cook, gardener, shepherd, farmhand, vet, surrogate mom, wildlife expert, sheep midwife & animal undertaker. My prep school education & graphic design background were useless. I went from attending restaurant openings & gallery receptions to working the rural fire dept's BBQ booth at the crafts fair & munching fried pies at country auctions. Nine years ago I moved to an even more remote 240-acre farm which I share with sheep, chickens, 4 dogs, 9 cats, 5 very entertaining donkeys, & one really well fed farmguy. My life revolves around food.

Hi Susan, you got me there. What is that?
Do you know if the magazine arrived yet?
Hi,
Cat Syth at http://www.ptank.com/catsynth/index.php has offered to host Weekend Cat Blogging (WCB #67) this weekend if you have a photo to share. Thanks.
I love the faded red paint. It's a lovely photo.
It's a leg trap.
I love the colors and the patterns. It is a lovely canvas with a work or art painted on it.
