I live a quiet, generally peaceful life. I enjoy gardening, sewing art quilts, hand-dyeing fabric for my artwork, watching the birds and pollinators in my yard, and hanging out with my companion parrot.My email conversations tend to be talk about what's happening here, what's happening in the penpal's life, and whatever else might be important to either party. Just everyday stuff, but the connection is the important part. I have little patience for penpals who only send a couple sentences and a string of emojis.
