Wow, you have your own boysenberry plants? That's my favorite berry! Where did you get them? Are they difficult to grow?

Not if they're already established when you move into the place!

The biggest worries are cutting them back, and this year we surrounded them with poultry netting so we would actually get some.

I just have nothing to contribute today...well except

When I was a really little girl, I would have my great grandmother make me "Poison Berry Pies" LOL Think I was 7 when someone told me they were boysenberries.

Vikki Cheeseman just called me this morning and would like a response by Friday as to whether we would like to participate or not. I don't have enough eggs by myself. She said we would keep all the profits.

Genny probably has a bunch of extras by now. Maybe as many as 8 dozen. She won't want to sit at the sale though. She has too many animals to tend to be gone for long. I can ask her if someone is going to be there to man the table.

HAHAHA!!! We do too. We can surround him. Steve says he'll hold the shotgun and I'll do the flowers (used to do a lot of weddings in my younger days)! We have 2 avenues of escape blocked off now!

Yay for cows! Holding off until July or august works great for me. For those of you that have been here you know how much work needs to be done. So waiting a while is great. Plus I'm pretty sure this is my family reunion year which means I'll be gone part of July.

I love to make all kinds of jewelry and those little feather ribbons everyone has in their hair these days. I'm happy to make them and give them back to people for just over my cost, then you could sell them for fundraisers and such. I also make dream catchers, etc...

Aubrey I know I don't know you, but my unsolicited advice... Enjoy the time you have and if it's meant to happen it will. That way you'll be more surprised, he'll be more ready, and you won't have put a ton of extra stress on a part of life that's stressful enough.

Boysenberry jam is my favorite!!!

You know, when I was a teenager, I had all these romantic views about marriage. Within a week of my first marriage, those were shattered. While I was a single mom, I thought people must be insane to think those romantic views could ever happen, and believed they were mostly a sales pitch for country songs, which fed false expectations in people. Then I married Russ, and all those romantic views came back, and I realized that most of those expectations are what I deserve. Ok, I did really dream about a husband who would dance with me. I can deal without dancing. Mine culls my sick chickens for me!

My romantic wedding was black leather and a Harley. Huge difference from my once dream wedding and the 100's I did. Gotta be me.

Sunny I know you have some of this stuff, but I put you a little collection together. It's not much, but hopefully enough until my supplies get here, plus I get a lot of my stuff at the Pow Wow, so maybe they'll have some of the foldovers.

So maybe if I post it I'll remember I have to buy coyote faces. Two more days and I'll be eating fry bread and listening to all the drums. Last year was hard without Bill and I'm sure this year will be too, but I have to go. I was going to rent an SUV, but looks like the Jag is camping for the second year in a row.

I really need to get my van fixed somehow.

Kim, are you Native American? My husband is a linguistic anthropologist who did a lot of work with the Nuumic languages, especially the Owens Valley Paiute and Big Pine tribes. That is, until the council decided not to renew his contract a few years ago.
