Hi Ashley and welcome to BYC from Ohio!

Proud owner of some nice show quality Buckeyes and Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks. I love gardening and being outdoors. I'm lucky to have a great family, and two cute dogs. I live out in the country on six wooded acres and it's just paradise! (Except the mortgage payment and bills, of course)
