Ladies Day at the Farm



Well, all of my good intentions got derailed today when I realized that today was Thursday.
Thursday is the day that a group of friends of all ages most of us are moms get together and have lunch and spend the afternoon working on a project.
This afternoon we made crocheted dish clothes. Three of us taught the other girls how to crochet. It was a simple project a little difficult for the untrained but we all walked away with one except me, since I ended up making two of them for two of the girls that couldn't get the hang of it.
Karol brought out the book MaryJane's Farmer Girl. This a great book full of useful projects that most of us were really interested in doing.
Thursday's are great fun, and we have plans to continue with them throughout the summer.
Next week the chicks that she ordered from Murray McMurray will be here and we are going to rejuvenate her hen house. We are also going to crochet shopping bags to take to the market so we don't have to feel so guilty about all of the plastic that we are throwing into the landfills, and we are going to crochet them using the plastic bags themselves.
Much discussion took place about the community garden. It was suggested that we could have a third plot at the Farm for the big fruits and vegetables, like the corn, the pumkins and the melons. They spread soooo much that they will eat a kitchen garden right up.
So it seems that more has been added to our plates (in more ways than one), and we have more planning to do.
Anyway, tomorow is supposed to be even lovelier than today and God willing I will be able to get up and get much accomplished without killing myself in the process. (I alway's bite off more than I can chew, and end up hurting myself because I do too much)!
