Hi, everyone. This is my first blog on this site. I have a page on my website that I update every month or so but this is the first official blog. My name is Charlotte. As you can tell from my name, I live on a farm in Indiana. We grow specialty produce, have value added products and am just now getting ready to put in a blueberry u-pick. But enough of that.
I attended a Country Living conference for women in Chicago last month. Talk about culture shock. First I could not believe how much the hotel costs and then the amount of people in the city was just mind boggling. Talk about taking the farm girl to the big city!!! But that was a huge leap of faith for me and there really was a net there to catch me. I met a lot of nice people who I am happy to be able to call friends now. And was able to pitch to a major magazine. If you haven't been out of your comfort zone in a while, it's time to shake things up.
When I got home, it was life was usual. Life on the farm is always the same and always changing. New births, new growths, garden expansions a new barn, etc... I hope to be able to figure out how to put pictures on my blogs so you can see what I am talking about. Sometimes it is just hilarious to see my daughter come walking out of the pasture with no boots on because she lost them in the mud or grabbing at your heart strings to see my Sam, my granddaughter feel a baby chicken for the first time and giggle.
I'm not sure how long these posts are supposed to be. I guess I will learn the rules of blogging as I go along. Hope to hear from all of you soon.
For now,
See ya on the farm
Charlotte
