About Me

i came to Bloster during the Great Multiply Migration. 

born and raised in California, i am of mostly Mexican descent.  i live in North Carolina now with my husband, a cockatiel named Homey and a dog named Cosmo. we are DIYers.

i have been married for 30 years to my husband Luis.  we have 2 now grown sons, who are now fathers themselves.  our two GrandGoddesses are 7 weeks apart in age. i was care giver to both....but youngest son and his family moved to California, so now i look after our youngest Grand Goddess.  being a Gramma is an amazing experience.

i am an obsessive and enthusiastic organic gardener. i do everything from composting to starting seeds to planting, mulching, research, etc. there is nothing about gardening that i do not love. truly, it is a labor of love and my magnificent obsession.

we have chickens......whose eggs nourish our bodies and whose droppings and egg shells nourish the compost pile.  no, we do not eat our chickens - they are family members who share our outdoor space. 

i love to cook, almost as much as i love to garden.  i also love to travel and read. i love art and music of all sorts. 

i speak fluent English and Spanish and enough French and Italian to communicate basic stuff. 

spirtually, i am a happy hodge podge of Zen, Tao, Pagan and other interesting things.  i have described myself as a Green Witch. that seems to be about the only 'label' that fits me well enough. i am very open-minded about all paths to the Divine and always respectful of the beliefs of others.  i am all about respect and  tolerance. 

i don't *do* (nor do i involve myself in) online dramas OR politics. i have never met a politician that i feel i can trust, whether i voted for them or not. 

i have a very off-the-wall and somewhat English sense of humour. 

 Queen is my absolute favorite musical group. i am slightly obsessed with Freddie Mercury.

i love dark chocolate and merlot, though i won't say 'no' to a nice, cold Saumel Adams or Negra Modelo.  i have never tasted anything that i thought was 'too chocolatey'. 

pic: taken during the Jan., 2013 New Moon.  no, it has not been retouched. 

okay, i think that's just about all that's fit to print, LOL.
