Thanks for this opportunity for sharing!
I'm from a gardening family, and am thrilled that after many long years my own gardens are mature and so satisfying!
As an avid reader, am seeking a balance between reading online and devouring that stack of books!
I got out of the lifelong habit of travel - thanks to covid - and am itching to do more!
We live in the vast wilderness of Northern California's coast range mountains. The resident wildlife has decided we are not a threat and our many trail cameras reveal to us the comings and goings of bears, mountain lions, bobcats, our house herd of deer, foxes, skunks, possums, and the grey squirrel population. A family of foxes and a bobcat live in our garden, efficiently keeping the field mouse population under control. Hiking the forest to change chips in our cameras is very fun and our guests love to accompany us. During the rainy season we appreciate and identify the fungi in the forest too.
A mob of hummingbirds rules the East porch and keeps us busy tending to their demands. We have well worn field guides and well used binoculars for the variety and numbers of the local bird population.
As a lifelong community volunteer, I'm thrilled to be active in our local Soroptimist club, serving the Community in so many ways. The biggest thrill for me is giving scholarships and awards to deserving women to help support their educational journeys.
It is great fun to read these contributions from others in this community! I'm off to peruse more of them
