Hello Everyone!
I am a new farmgirl. I am working towards my forever homestead but I have a lot to learn. I excited to pursue the merit badges. I never did girl scouts but I am a sucker for token of achievement.
Right now I live in southern Iowa with my pack of pups, nearly adult son and my partner. This is my first year diving deep into gardening which is nerve-racking.
Excited to meet people and learn for more experienced members.

Wow Graci I am impressed at how you got a picture of all your dogs. Mine are so camera shy and rambunctious that it's like herding cats. I live in northern Kentucky near Cincinnati, but in grade school I was lucky to live in Plymouth Iowa, near Mason City. Welcome to the Sisterhood, enjoy exploring everything it has to offer.

Welcome to the Farm Graci! It's so nice to meet you. Your dogs are so stinking cute and they look like the best of buddies. I can't wait to hear more about how your merit badges are going. Do you know which badge you would like to work on first? I hope you have a prosperous garden this year. So many ladies here have gardens and always have great tips on what to do. I hope to see you around the forum more.
