Scrapbook Meeting

This was one of our get togethers where we each worked on a page for our scrapbook. We had a nice lunch and made plans about what each of us would like to work on next. One farmgirl will be having a class on making outdoor lanterns from mason jars. Another will have a get together to show how to make all natural cleaners for our home. When the tomatoes at the garden are ripe, we will have a canning lesson on making salsa. Those who are interested can come and learn. It is up to each of us to put out our interests in what we would like to do.

Farm Fair 2009

This is when we went to 4th of July farm fair in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho for three days for the MaryJanes roaring 20's affair. We not only got to dress up but we did a lot of bartering and buying from vendors and such up and down the Palouse. We met MaryJane and her family and many other farmgirls in the Sisterhood.

Our co-op garden

This is what Cheryl and I have been doing the last four months. We are now only waiting on the tomatoes and corn to ripen. Most everything else has been picked each week or finished alltogether. We have really enjoyed the soil that this garden has and are very thankful to Butch and his wife, Debbie who have allowed us to use their garden to grow are many heirloom and organic seeds for our first time. We hope to be able to do this again next year.

Welcome

Cheryl Severeide & Gail Springman

Today is the first day for many interesting things to come. We have finally made a blogsite for all to see what we "Charming Chicks" are up to. Gail & I have been working at getting this chapter up and running for most of the Spring and Summer. We have planted a garden of heirloom vegetables and are earning many badges through the MaryJane Farmgirls Sisterhood. You can join us anytime. We both raise chickens and love being farmgirls. Follow us as we add more pictures of our chapter life. We have started a scrap book journal of things we have so far accomplished and will post new things here.
So come sit with us here and read about our adventures or come into our livingrooms and share with us what you like to do. We welcome all comments.
