Tammy Owen lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, you know, where it rains a lot. What a lot of people don't know is that her area has very dry summers, so she ends up dragging hundreds of feet of hose around the garden. This requires hose guides, all of which are impromptu 'temporary' things like the broken ends of rakes. The broken end of the rake has been there (temporarily of course) for about six years, and it's dented in the middle from being hammered in. She persists in the idea that it still might be useful again someday, if she puts on a new handle and hammers it straight again. Dragging hose also requires muscle. Luckily she's built up quite a bit moving alfalfa bales, running heavy equipment like sicklebar mowers and oversized rototillers, digging out invasive blackberry vines, and wrestling with goats, among other picturesque activities. She hardly ever cusses, though, having gotten out of the habit after raising two children more or less to adulthood with her extremely patient, generous husband. He's always there to lend a hand with nary an eye roll, and his self-suffering sighs are barely audible as he helps with the latest crisis. She would still be buried in blackberries, or eaten by cougars, or some other horrible fate if it weren't for him. Tammy enjoys belly dancing, painting, climbing, travel, and putting her feet up and reading a good book. She hopes to do all that again someday, when the farm is all in order.
