Today begins my blogging adventure. It will be interesting to watch this experience evolve....to see what kind of blogger I am or will become. Buckle up and hang on...this ride may get bumpy from time to time.
Observations of a Farmgirl...
Although I just planted my row of "cowpeas" on Saturday..June 14th...just 3 days ago, they are already peaking out of the soil. It's funny, but the gratification is immense.....I can't imagine what the feeling will be like when I pick my first pod full of those beautiful, delicious little peas. This is not my first garden...although it has been a couple of years since having one, but I think the fascination of watching something grow remains the same regardless if it's the first time...or the one hundredth.
I actually got a late start for this garden.....but it looks like everything is starting to "pop"....and I will have a small summer harvest. Most of what I have planted will go into fall..........I WILL have an awesome fall/winter garden.
Being that this is my first stab at blogging...and my first time on this site..I will wait to post pictures. I will try to keep not only a verbal diary...but a graphic diary as well. But I am going to need a little more time...to understand all the gears of this machine.
Affirmations of a Farmgirl...
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

About Me
- Kate Stiefer
- Tyler, Texas
- I have been married to my husband John since 1975. A long time, but it has flown by! He's the love of my life!( My maiden name is Burch.) We were not blessed with children of our own...but we have a slew of nieces and nephews who keep our hearts full and quite satisfied. Our kids are of the 4 legged persuasion...two Schnauzer girls, Jill and Trinket, and a Black cat, Sissy, who has no idea she's a cat... thinks she too is a Schnauzer. I grew up as an Air Force brat...and had the good fortune to travel to many places in the world while my father defended our country. We lived on Guam and traveled to places like the Phillippines, Hong Kong, Japan....you get the picture!!?? Our classroom was the world, and I so appreciate the opportunities my parents provided for us kids. (There are 4 of us....Pat, Sally, me (Kate), and Rob. John and I met in Texas...and several years later we moved to Phoenix, Arizona where we spent the next 25 years.(We actually lived in Tempe.) We recently moved back to Tyler, TX and are living in a wonderful old house in the Azalea/Brick Street District. I have named our little corner of the world...Brick Street Farm.
