Born and raised on a farm, rural life is in my blood, although I wouldn't consider myself as a farmer-type person.
I do, however, enjoy my backyard!

My GARDENING GOALS
* to grow as much of my food as possible on my little piece of land
* to create a personal retreat in my backyard so that I do not need to travel in order to find a place to relax
* to re-develop my front yard into its natural state of being part of the northern-most part of the Carolinian Forest

Oh.. and I'm also a member of:
*HomeRefurbers (http://homerefurbers.com/members/MsDebbieP) and
*LumberJocks (http://lumberjocks.com/jocks/MsDebbieP)

thank you :)
I had the best weekend!! Bonfire breakfast, hot dog night at my brother’s on Saturday, potluck yesterday—and my brother wrote a song for me, for my birthday!! Can’t get more special than that :)
And today .. well I’m so tired that I feel like I’m 50 years old!

Ms. Debbie,
I wrote a book called 7 Violet: The Harper Chronicles. It’s fiction, but it gave me an appreciation for what it takes to write something more than “lol”. Bravo to you!

I do have a question: Where can I get clean straight shoots from a hazelnut tree. I saw a craftsman on YouTube demonstrate how he makes beautiful little flowers on his lathe. We don’t have hazelnut bushes/trees in Michigan, so if you could refer me to someone who does, I’d be glad to turn them a small bouquet if they send me some nice shoots. Each flower requires about an 8 inch section of hazelnut. Diameter should be between 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch. Thanks.

-- Regards, Sir Robert

oh I’ve seen those cute little flowers.
I hope someone can help you out with this question. You should post your question in the forums to make sure everyone sees it.

Also, have you posted a request on LumberJocks.com? There are a lot more members and you might find someone local to you.

(and thanks for the Bravo) :)

Thanks for the welcome, MsDebbieP! So many people here have been so welcoming, gives one the warm fuzzies…I LOVE that feeling! :-)

Glad you liked the verse, too. That’s from a poem (can’t remember the title) by Elizabeth Barrett Browning ~ love her poetry.

-- Earth's crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God: But only he who sees, takes off his shoes, the rest sit round it, and pick blackberries...

well I’m not feeling the warm rays today—it’s raining. Lots of rain today!
But the past week has been pretty good, overall.

I’ll be watching for the photos!!!
