Hi from South Africa
Hi all
My name is Cat, and I'm a stay-home mom of two, and a belly-dancer, a hooper, and a writer.
We live on a 1/4 acre property, and are just taking our first small steps to being more self-sufficient.
I see most of you are in the northern hemisphere, so it looks like I'll always be a good two seasons behind, but what the hey, diversity is what makes life interesting. :D
I'm documenting my attempts in a gardening blog - Primrose_Green.

Hi Cat
and welcome. There are lots of people here from Australia and NZ, so you're not alone in the south.
Now the important question - what's a hooper?

Yay for the South!
A hooper is a person who spins hoops around. :D Think giant hula hoops and you're on the right track. Loads of fun and a good opportunity to behave like a kid.

Re: Hi from South Africa
Hi Cat, you may be a hemisphere away, but we're in the same time zone(more or less).
it's either one or the other, or neither of the two.
