crescendo

I'm energized by peaceful and nature environments, but 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.

I have a fun (juvenile?), easy going sense of humor (most of the time) and am also not offended by juvenile humor, obnoxious hilarity, or foul language.

My interests include (but are not limited to): organic gardening, nature journaling, boating, goats, nature, trees, birds, 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 am allergic to perfumes or anything scented.

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, sloths, 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)

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

♥ Hand letter or collage of these words and phrases: "Glimmer", "Simplify", "Slow Down", "Routine", "Be present", "Posture", "Chew Your Food", "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 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, even just smelling them gives me a migraine. (things scented with authentic essential oils are 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. I am not trying to criticize these styles if you love them, but they just are not my cup of tea and I cannot explain why they creep me out, they just do.

↓ 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.
