Thanks for inviting me back! I have indeed written another book which I also got to illustrate with about thirty watercolor paintings, ergo I spent many hours last summer sitting outside, under a sun umbrella, painting veggies. It was a wonderful way to combine two of my fave. things - food and paint. What's really exciting is that I have not yet seen the book but am expecting it to arrive on my doorstep any day now - just like a stork with a bundle bearing basket I'm sure it will be quite obvious when that day and the books arrive because I will no doubt be scattering my posts with emojies and exclamation points!!! Until then color me Excited!

Welcome back, Jenni

I love the name of your farm.

Thanks Anne! QuackaDoodle pretty much describes who we are, (in more ways than one ) although the rabbits and goats complain that they should have their say too. I will try to insert an image of the logo which does give them equal billing but don't hold your breath - I am technically challenged, no doubt about that!

Hi Anne! I actually figured out how to post images! Yay!!! - (well, not quite true - a kind permie in one of the other forums told me how) - so here is an image of our logo which I said I'd try to post. Naming a farm is a big deal I think because it's almost the same as naming a company and similarly with the logo. I wanted something a bit quirky that would stand out and this seems to work. I also painted a sign for the duck shed which I use as a logo on the duck eggs which you might enjoy.

Thanks for the pictures.  That Duckville is really cool.

Check your inboxes folks, as you'll soon be receiving a PM from me, asking for your mailing addresses!!

Congratulations to the three winners of my new book, The Food Lover's Garden! I just received my first copies on Friday and I love the look of it. As usual everyone at New Society Publishers did a wonderful job. I'm delighted

I do hope you are all as pleased with it as I am and that in someway The Food Lover's Garden helps to enrich your enjoyment of growing, preparing and, of course, eating homegrown.
