Introduction from BC Canada

topic posted Fri, March 30, 2007 - 12:43 PM by  tenzicut


It is currently snowing and looks like chicken feathers coming down, so I bailed back into the house to work on the computer for a little bit and try to ignore what I see coming down. I do believe the calendar shows it is past the Spring Equinox, but Mother Nature up here has decided she will do as she wants for now. Such is the normal for living up here on our mountain, where I have seen it snow in July.

I call myself 'tenzicut' on the net and I live on a 40 acre farm with my family ("hubby" and 2 teenage boys) in the bush in northern British Columbia, Canada. Moose and bear are more of our neighbors than humans. We raise alot of our own food and all of our own meat.

I currently do not have any fiber animals, but usually I have Horned Dorset & Jacob sheep and English Angoras. I also trade handshearing for fiber from many of my friends who are terrified of shearing.

I have a Ashford and a Luet S-10 and then I knit socks.. pretty much nothing else but boot socks.. but I do make sure they are pretty bootsocks *S*

I worked as a veterinary technican for 20-some years until I was dumb and fractured my back in 4 places 18 months ago. Laying on a sofa for 10 months was driving me crazy, so I am now an editor for an organic homesteading magazine.

Besides the animals, I love to cook, knit and handspin on my spinning wheels, read anything voraciously, hike and rock climb.

    Hi tenzicut nice to meet you. I live in central Mo. just went to the site that you have at the bottom of your post. What a cool old steam tracter! My man just walked by and saw the tracter so I was explaining what took me to that site. (he loves old iron things) and hunting. When I told he you said you see more bear and moose where you live he said he wants to go live with you for awhile.

    I knit, crochet, sew, needlepoint, and do stain glass work. Don't grow any of my own materials. Thats my sister who owns a wool processing plant. She grows an organic garden that they sell from, raises sheep and goats. So you and her certainly would have a lot in common. Hope you can add some new interesting stuff to this site.
