[Women] greetings

[Chris]

Checking in from Rising Moon Farm:
Last time I was out of the house was last Wednesday. Had to go to Parkersburg. It felt like a Sunday out on the roads - Not a lot of traffic. One store, there were only 3 of us customers. May venture out tomorrow for some groceries and other stuff. I started seeds indoors today. Mainly vegetables - broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, some flowers - sunflowers, zinnias,  celosia, butterfly weed, and herbs - basil, chamomile, parsley . .  . I will plant out in the high tunnel later this week - kale, spinach, onions, lettuce, etc. We have been eating well. Lots of stuff in the freezer and the pantry - canned from last year's harvest. I am spending more time doing my oil paintings. Finished two and have two more in progress. Plus today & tomorrow stretching and priming my own canvases. I am old school. Although at 70% off, I did order some canvases already stretched. So no excuses, I will have plenty of blank canvases to work on. Also many garden and house projects to keep us busy. I sure would like to see more sun, so I can work outdoors. For sewers, I have heard some hospitals ( in Charleston for one ) are in need of masks. There are patterns online. May check with a local hospital to see if they need any. I have plenty of fabric!
I am anxious to hear from others and how you are doing by staying at home. Are you finding enough "projects" or activities to keep you busy?

We miss you, Annie. In fact, we miss everyone, especially you fabulous women of FUUSM! We’re staying pretty safe and sequestered, with enough food in the larder for awhile. We spent some time this morning trying to pinpoint what and where we need to service our congregation. Then we met with Kat in the courtyard for a brief blessing. Watch your emails, the FUUSM website and Facebook page for lots of ideas about inspirational content and creative ways to stay in touch.Suzyn Mills

Hi Annie and everyone.
I am dong fine and just wanted to check in.  We could do Zoom but it is getting lots of use and who knows how long it will continue to be free.  There were hints of that when I signed in as they were limiting what was in the basic free version.  I know it is not the best but this email system is accessible to  most of us.  It is what we have been using so we are use to it.  
We might as well start where we are.  Whoever wants to check in that is great.   Just to say "Hello" is sufficient.  We all know each other and i think we are comfortable with this medium of communication for the time being.  

Let us know how you are doing and what are some of the things you would like to discuss.  If you have something to share that would be great.
Do you have suggestions as to how we should proceed?  
Best,  Jane

Dear Friends;  It seems important that we find a way to communicate with 

each other during this emergency.  Do you have some ideas of how we 

might get together online?  I was thinking we could have a Zoom.com call 

online, and pick a topic for discussion.  The call would include a 

check-in as well.  Just some thoughts as I wonder how the weeks will 

treat us without getting together in some way.


We're all fine at Blue Rock Station.  It seems quite odd to tell people 

they can't join us...this is quite the opposite of how we've lived our 

entire life together.  However I plan to get through this as unscathed 

as possible.  We've been used to not shopping for the past four months 

since it is our Thanks for Nothing Season so when we realized we'd 

better stay in (a week ago Friday) we went to the grocery and the feed 

store to replenish some scooby snacks and then we just went back to 

living Thanks for Nothing Season except now it's likely to be a sixth 

month season. YIKES!


My latest activity, besides working on salvaging our business year, is 

to plant some trees that arrived earlier in the week, and also I made 

some shampoo.  The ingredients in shampoo are frightening and I love the 

way my homemade shampoo feels, even after a few hours.


The goats have tried to scare me with two of them being anemic and the 

third one nearly as dangerously sick.  I've worked a lot of magic on 

them so I'm hoping they will get through this spell alive.  The rain 

does dangerous things to goats especially when it rains this much.


This is my attempt at getting you to engage.  I'd love to hear what 

you're doing and what's happening in your neighborhood, OR the latest 

about the FUUSM Sunday services.  Annie
