Some about me....

My blogging compadre Ali at Henbogle has tagged me with  a meme.  To participate in this particular meme, one has to share seven pieces of information about oneself.

Here are my seven:

1.  I was on the back of a horse before I was in a house.  I grew up on a horse farm, and my parents wanted to start me out right, so when they brought me home from the hospital, they went to the stable first.

2.  I sometimes have trouble pulling up carrots because I think I hear them screaming.  This is a real problem, since I am a vegetarian.

3.  My grandmother taught me to cook.  Apparently she was not a very good cook, but I didn't know that until I made some of her recipes for D of L, who gently suggested that pecan pie isn't actually supposed to ooze off the plate.

4.  I have G.P. and our dogs convinced that I am the pack leader.  No one else in the family recognizes my leadership position, however.

5.  I was on track to have my Ph.D. in Literature before I was 25.  Then I realized it was 1985 and there were no jobs teaching literature.  I left the Ph.D. program and became a professional horseman instead. Five years later I went to law school.  Now I'm a partner in a big law firm, and often wish I was a full-time gardener.

6.  I drink way too much tea.

7.  I still haven't written my first novel.

Thanks, Ali!

Poor little carrots. ;-)

You're welcome! The literature degree explains the great writing on your blog, and I LOVE the story of how Wonderland Farm came to be.... Thanks for participating.

You're a better cook than your foremothers. Thank goodness.

About the carrots... you are not alone. I think I hear the screaming too!
