More about me

Sure-footed mother, English teacher, gardener, cook, grown-up farm girl. Resourceful, strong-willed, quick-witted, persistent, sentient, sensible, sometimes springy.  I like roaringpoppinghissing fires, quiet summer mornings, the dewey dusk moth hour, the smell of the woods, roses, autumn, Shakespeare, Steinbeck, Yeats, Yevtushenko, Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Leo Kottke, Johnny Horton, Joni Mitchell, the music of my children. I respect intelligence, integrity, independence, the ability to take a leap of faith.
