My handmade Farm Girl Doll
A few months ago I ordered a magazine subscription for my daughter. [Although, I really would have enjoyed the magazine also! I figured I could read them after she was done with them.] It was 'Mary Janes Farm' magazine. It's packed with all things handmade and she has enjoyed them very much! You might want to check out the magazine and their site http://www.maryjanesfarm.org/
One of my greatest dreams is to live on a farm. I would really like to have a few acres here in Oregon and build a blueberry farm [with my daughter's family.] I really would like to be a farm girl, er . . . grandma! I once lived in the mountains on a seven acre place. This was my first taste of COUNTRY! Even though it was hard living there, in a ramshackle house originally built in the early 1900's raising six kids, the experience stuck with me; sort of like the old saying: "You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy." I started gardening when I lived there; the kids had 4H projects of lambs and pigs; we had a horse; and I tried raising chickens!
I've lived other places since then, but the country life is still what I long for. I like the peace, the wide open space, and it's still my dream!

My dream, too. I sure do miss those days up at that cabin. There's just nothing like it!
I don't miss them much. Short time periods are ok. :)
