Curious about the world and all the wonderful ways of being human on this spaceship planet we all call home. I'm independent and adventurous. I value learning and being open-minded. I spend a large part of my free time working in my garden, creating an edible landscape full of color and good things to eat. I love volunteering in my community (mostly gardening!)I enjoy visiting new places and learning about their history, art, architecture, language and culture. I raised two children on my own. I'm hardworking and value self-reliance. And artfulness. I paint, draw and craft.
