Affiliations
Garden Fanatic. I plant vegetables and flower every year using my skills in plant management and care. I'll spend a good chunk of the day outside planting, pruning,watering and arranging floral baskets and pots.
My other passion is animal rescue. I volunteer at a no kill shelter doing cleaning and socializing of feline and canine pets and I foster kittens, puppies, cats and dogs. By fostering, I help save pets from the stressful experience of being housed in the shelter and from being separated from their past environment.
