Dreamer. Serious and silly. Perpetually optimistic and realistic. A nurse becoming a farm artist, slowly. Aiming for landscape design.
I sew, I mend and remake things, I knit, garden and cook. I discovered the 1 cat in the world I could love.

Little wonders in the yard. Very small pine cones on Black Dragon Japanese Cedar and fungi, Turkey tail I believe.
