Welcome to Fern Valley

Here in central Alberta prime farm country,my husband Martin and I work together raising beef cattle and Appaloosa horses. Fern valley appaloosas have long been known for their quality of temperament conformation and color.I have recently rediscovered a love of writing and have published 2 collections of poetry. "Telling Tails" and Tails Trails and Campfire stories" . I look forward to a future spreading my wings as an author and as a horse woman .

Awe shucks !

 Thanks to Lisa at Laughing Orca Ranch.
I have received an award !
Thanks Lisa!
With the award come some rules. I am to share it with some of my favorite blogs (lawless soul that I am I will share it with all or any that want , all of the blogs I read are favorites)
And to tell you 7 things you may or may not know about me .

  1. I am shy, no one really realises this when they meet me as I usually force myself to smile and walk right in. But inside I am a basket case .
  2. I am very close to celebrating the silver anniversary of my 20th birthday . and I still blush  at the drop of a hat
  3. I hate my feet , I took ballet as a kid, and between that and arthritis ,I have one toe that is really messed up and will eventually need surgery , either ,intensive repair or removal . I have looked at the options , and frankly ,9 toed cowgirl ,is the way I will go. Way faster recovery !
  4. I love to cook. But not just for me ,I find it very hard to cook proper meals when hubby is away . And I really enjoy having people over for a meal so I can really make something good !
  5. That said , I rarely bake , don't often make cookies ,or cakes ,NEVER make pie (I am terrible at pastry ) but I do make really yummy bread , and cinnamon buns.
  6. I don't sleep very well, toss and turn , and when I have a cold I can snore the paint right off the walls!
  7. I have an evil streak, a bit of a dry sense of humour . I don't let it out much anymore , but if the world could hear what I am thinking ...
So there you have it , 7 things you might not have known , or wanted to about me ! lol
Grab the award and have a go if you like ,I am always happy to get to know you all better .
Calenders are done and ready to order , and so are my Christmas cards with Shutterfly so I am finally staring to catch up, I think!
Stay safe!

No need to be shy. I consider myself lucky to know you (or at least the part of you that you show through blogging.) But now you've got me wondering about that evil side...

I've rattled the windows and snored the dog out of the room, but I don't think I've ever made the paint peel off the walls! I now have a new goal!
