I'll be sending out welcome packets over the weekend

For those who have joined (or are thinking about it), I'll be sending out welcome packets this weekend. If you haven't sent me your mailing address, just leave a comment here. (Not with your address but that I need to contact you!) Otherwise, I'll send out the stuff shortly. I'll also send out the driving directions and invitation for the Tea and Know-How Pow Wow that is scheduled for January 16th.

Thanks everyone!

Wanna help a goat?

How often do you get asked that question? I thought we might consider volunteering as a group at the Puget Sound Goat Rescue site located in Maple Valley. I'm getting details from the owner, so I'll update the post when I hear more, but if you are interested in helping out some goats who need some lovin', post and I'll make sure you get the information.

Tea Time and a Know-How Pow Wow

Let's start 2010 off with a little gathering. I'm hosting a tea at my home for all local farmgirls who'd like to attend. The plan is to meet up and share a little about ourselves - what brought us to Mary Jane's Farm, what skills we've learned, what we'd still like to learn. For example, I know crochet and embroidery and I'd be happy to help someone else learn how.

For those that do merit badges, we could talk about earning some as a group. We can also make some plans for warmer weather camping, "field" trips to local farms, whatever strikes our fancy.

Interested? Please join the Bees in Our Bonnets in the 'Burbs chapter and post a comment here, letting me know you are coming. I'll mail you an invitation and we'll meet up Saturday, January 16th at 2pm.
