Long time no see

I have been perusing Ree Drummond's blog The Pioneer Woman www.thepioneerwoman.com. She has inspired me to rouse this abandoned blog and start chronicaling my own crazy critter and food-filled life. Sure, instead of the Marlboro Man I married Dilbert, and rather than living in gorgeous vast plains with herds of mustangs and beef cattle we live on 5 acres with two rescue throroughbreds, a few pygmy goats and chickens but hey, it is a good life and just as fun. I also have been learning to use our camera, a Canon PowerShot Pro 1 (whatever that means,) so I wanted to have somewhere to post my fledgling attempts at using the thing. I also have been playing with fiber, so maybe having someplace to post my projects would help give me some gumption.
