Now until Labor Day, we are celebrating Rosies’ Labor of Love. Tell us what you’re passionate about (gardening, horses, welding, working on cars, ranching, etc) and submit a picture of yourself in action on our Facebook page and have a chance to receive our “classic” denim coverall. Feel free to add links to a website or blog. If there is one thing all Rosies love to do, is share information and support women in their causes.
Here’s our favorite “Labor of Love” for this week from Linda Traux: “My favorite thing to do is gardening, but with that my other favorite, digging. When I plant something in my yard you cannot dig too deep until you hit a rock. Not just a small one–a huge rock..I try not to let the rock win…I will stick with it until I get it out using my shovel and crowbar. Once I have it I proudly place it in a nice spot in my garden and of course take pictures. When it is a good find, my friends need to see and hear about it…lol..love digging!” You could say Linda really digs her rock garden.
Rosies are known for their can do attitude. We won’t let a little heat get us down. Attached is a YouTube video of how to make your own air conditioner. Should be fun for us mechanically inclined Rosies. Let us know how it worked for you?
Summer is definitely in full swing. (If you haven’t heard, a heat wave has taken over the east coast.) We took some tips from MedicineNet.com on how to stay cool. Do you have any tips to add? We would love to hear them.
Alter your pattern of outdoor exercise to take advantage of cooler times (early morning or late evening is great for doing chores). If you can’t change the time of you need to go outside, scale it down by doing fewer minutes, walking instead or running, or decreasing your level of exertion.
Wear loose-fitting clothing, preferably of a light color.
Cotton clothing will keep you cooler than many synthetics.
Beat the heat with Rosies zip-off overalls and a cotton T.
From time to time, we will share a more in-depth Rosie story that exemplifies our can do spirit. Please enjoy this feature of Wind Dance Farm on this holiday where we celebrate our independence.
Tucked amongst rolling green hills and beautiful homes you will find the elegant yet charming Wind Dance Farm. The 40 acres is home to budding olive trees, organic, sustainable gardens, a herd of alpacas, a brood of chickens, a breathtaking home and grounds, a lavender paradise in the making and a three-generational family working together to breathe life into this lifelong dream. There is richness and something very pure found on this beautiful farm hidden in the hills of Avila, CA, and beyond its gates is the story of one family’s dream becoming a reality.
In celebration of National Dairy month, the Rosies team visited Happy Acres Farm, a California state licensed working goat dairy, owned by Stephanie Simonin seen below in our new Rosies raspberry overalls. Happy Acres is a busy and happy place operated by four women with family support. The goat milk is all natural and hormone-free. The milk has a wonderfully high butterfat content essential in producing dairy products such as fresh goat milk, cheese, ice-cream, lotion, and soap.
Like this blog and have a chance to recieve a free bottle of goat milk body lotion.
Crystal Beckvold of Dedham, Massachusettes won our Dirtiest Rosie Contest. Below is the winning entry from Crystal during and after an engine swap. For her efforts, Crystal will receive a brand new pair of sea green overalls which she says she will put to good use and we believe her.
Taking out an engine is all in a day's fun for Crystal.
Crystal tells us in addition to being our Dirtiest Rosie she was featured in Street Rodder Magazine May of 2009 and won a scholarship for the “Most Influential Women in Collision Repair” back in 2007.
