I have enjoyed nature ever since I was a little girl, and the interest hasn't waned in all these years. I'm a confirmed renter living in an apartment, but still am able to have a good-sized flower garden and feeding station for the birds. I welcome all wildlife to my little yard, because the happiness they bring me more than makes up for any expense or trouble they may cause. Besides gardening and wildlife, I enjoy reading, writing, thrifting, some crafts, and adding to my many collections.
