Hi, all! I am trying to connect beyond myself. Shy, burned by putting more into writing than I should have, still in love with the world. Done some traveling, hopefully more to come. I collect ivy from where ever I go except the UK, before I knew I wanted to. Ah, well... Maybe I'll get to go back. As my life looks smaller I feel I am growing. And the ones I love: 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 husband, 3 sons, many many potted plants. How/where are you? All (that's true) are welcome, I don't write back instantly.
