I'm a gardener and love learning about the natural world. I'm happily married, and live on a farm with lots of pets and a few farm animals. My life has been changed over the past few years by long covid and severe food sensitivities, so I'm adapting to a different lifestyle but I still try to enjoy life as much as I can. Going for gentle walks has replaced vigorous hikes for me, but the point is to enjoy nature, so that's ok. Love reading novels of the more literary type, and am trying to learn how to crochet! Also, I spent about half my adult life living in Europe.
