crescendo

I flourish best in peaceful nature environments, and become drained by noise, crowds and hubbub. I live with my husband among lots of fir trees on 20 acres of land.

I have been a gardener for 40 years. In addition to annuals, perennials, shrubs, and containers, I grow Dahlias and joined my local Dahlia Society. Now my veggie garden has become mostly flowers. My garden is behind a fence to keep the deer from eating everything, however last year the rabbits have evolved in some manner that they ate anything and everything that they had never touched in 25 years in this garden. My gardening focus now will turn to supporting pollinators and having plants that move with the wind. Sensory and medicinal gardening.

I have a fun (juvenile?), easy going sense of humor (most of the time).

My interests include (but are not limited to): organic gardening, nature journaling, boating, goats, graphic design, art, computers, cats, learning craft projects of all kinds, decorating, landscaping, science, spirituality, the body/mind/spirit connection, fitness, nutrition, Spinning (indoor cycling, not wool:), learning about the history and origins of all religions of the world. I have recently become interested in jigsaw puzzles and speed puzzling competitions.

I am allergic to perfumes or anything scented, and cigarette smoke.

I love bright/saturated/vibrant/vivid colors.

A couple of my favorite color combos are blue and green, and also citrus colors combo of lime/lemon/orange

Themes I like:

♥ Cats, goats

♥ Winter/Summer Solstice, Spring/Fall Equinox, Yule

♥ Lemons, limes, oranges (especially lemons)

♥ Sea Turtles

♥ Snails and garden slugs (cute ones, not actual slimy ones) and Snail Mail theme

♥ Spiritual, yoga, mandalas, prayer flags, personal growth, inspirational things, goal setting

♥ Hand letter or collage of these words and phrases: "Glimmers", "Liberation", "Linger", "Chew Your Food", "Look for the Beauty".

♥ The Sun, the moon

♥ Haiku written by you

♥ Dandelions (both the flowers and the seed head); Daisies

♥ Strawberries with the foliage

♥ Old style Smokey the Bear

♥ Any items/art/craft that you are passionate about creating by hand -- I love to see everyone's creative side come out.

↓ For tea I mostly drink herbal and decaf, but nothing containing chamomile or hibiscus (allergy).

↓ Please, NO bath/body products or scented candles or incense I am highly sensitive to chemically perfumed items. (authentic essential oils are A-OK)

↓ I am not into the altered/colorized vintage/victorian photographs of people, nor the Zetti style, nor steampunk. No children with wings, crowns or duncecaps. No cabbage rose/Victorian country style.

↓ No items that smell of cigarette smoke, or, especially don't try to cover it up with perfume (including scented dryer sheets -- triggers migraine )

↓ No items that are the color "mauve" (I have a strange and passionate aversion to this color for whatever reason). The color "burgundy" or "wine" is a close runner up to disliking.
