Spring Has Sprung!

The first ship of the season came today! Good ol Michipicoten. I love water and ships make it even better! In the sunshine when the water is sparkling is the best. I'll miss Marquette when I'm gone for sure but luckily Duluth has my Superior and my ships. And Duluth has that smell I love. The fishy smell that I'd despise in any other setting.

Another sign of my spring is my onion seeds sprouting! They were ambitious little onions and sprouted after like four days! I can't wait for my green peppers to start sprouting and to plant the rest of the vegetables. And more excited for the first day putting everything into the ground and getting my hands dirty. Except they're not going to get dirty this growing season because I'm going to wear gloves to keep my beautiful ring clean :)

I didn't think I'd actually have anything interesting to say for awhile, but I do love my water, ships, and plants! And tomorrow shall be another good day because we're meeting with the man that's going to make Matt's wedding ring!

Later!

First Post....

Hello! I've decided to get a blog to write about all the interesting things that will hopefully be happening in my life soon! As soon as I get something interesting (at least to me) to write about, like a spindle or a banjo I am also quitting facebook so I don't have to hear about who's hooking-up with who and the parties last weekend. That is another reason I created this blog, so people that feel like they need to keep in contact with me after I'm through with facebook (Cassie) can still hear about my life. I'd also like to use this as a means to find other people with similar interests as me to learn things from and to just share ideas with.

Now for a little bit about me, I guess. Though I haven't had many interesting things happen in my short life yet. I've titled my blog 'Foggy Acres Farm' because I've dreamt about having a farm for as long as I can remember. However, I do not have a farm yet, this is just what me and my fiancé, Matt, would like to name our future farm. I have begun taking the steps towards my farming dream. I will no longer be going to school for a degree that I'll never use after this semester and hopefully will go back to school at some point to finish with an agriculture degree. Hopefully in the near future I'll get some experience working on a farm.

We plan on starting a farm within 10-15 years. I've started little things like my gardening; I had a bed in the Marquette Community Garden last year and have one reserved for this year as well. I've read a lot of farming books, specifically about goats because I want goats to be the main focus and means of profit for our farm. I have a ton of other ideas about what to do with our farm but I'd prefer to keep them to myself until the right time comes.

I'm running out of things to say for tonight so I'll update y'all later when I have something interesting to say!
