Last summer I spoke with the capable horsewomen of New Hampshire who took me around the stable, and explained they would have me work around the horses in their stalls to become comfortable handling them and to learn about their ways. This is work I would relish doing before I earn the reward to freely gallop.Fleecebumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690844368979503952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-63525112605563510442011-04-01T16:57:49.014-04:002011-04-01T16:57:49.014-04:00I would like to learn to grow fabulous cauliflower...I would like to learn to grow fabulous cauliflower; the last time I tried it wasn't fit to eat.TLKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-64453938373845228542011-04-01T15:55:55.425-04:002011-04-01T15:55:55.425-04:00I want to learn how to spin.

I guess the top would be learning to bake a good loaf of bread. I tried once and ended up with a rock hard football. I also tried canning once, but couldn't get my pressure canner up to the right temperature on my electric stove, so I ended up throwing everything away. Canning is definitely on my list too. But I also want to learn to make cheese. So much to learn, so little time! I love seeing all your photos. Wish I could live the same way.
