Introduction	This is my first attempt at blogging, as you can no doubt deduce. If I had to describe myself, I would say I am peasant. I live simply and quietly in the woods of southern Indiana, surrounded by tall trees atop a ridge of ancient limestone. I consider myself a steward of this piece of land and feel responsible for preserving it. In the 70 years I have been given to walk this early, I have had many adventures and touched many lives. Gratitude for my blessings fills me. Personal stuff: retired, write a weekly column, working on a book, divorced for 27 years, 3 kids, 3 grand kids, 3 dogs, 1 cat. In my youth I was a wild red head. Those red curls turned to silver, but the passion for life still glows in my soul.
Interests	creating with words, with textiles, with paint, with what ever is handy, the natural world, travel, reading, camping, gardening, spirituality
Favorite movies	I like old black & white movies from the 30s and 40s, comedies mostly.
Favorite music	I enjoy just about all types of music. From Bluegrass to Opera.
Favorite books	Oh my, that is difficult. My favorite is probably "North with the Spring" by Edwin Way Teale. I read An Edwardian Lady's Diary almost every year. Anne of Green Gables, Ahab's Wife, I also like mysteries for fun, like Margaret Coel, and Nevada Barr, Alexander Mc Call or the Mazie Dobbs series.
