Hobbies? Well, let's see...there's gardening. Then there's gardening. And there's also more gardening. No, really, that is pretty important to me. I live in the central city in an old neighborhood on a small lot. But I bought this particular house as much for the blank, flat, sunny yard as for the house itself. I live between two vacant houses and like the privacy bestowed. It is a shame to see such sturdy little houses go unused, so I would only a little disappointedly give up some privacy in order to have some nice neighbors. I take care of the yard of one of those houses, as the owners live far away. They let me plant a few things there in exchange for looking after their place. Uh, they get a very good deal! When alone, I listen to Mexican and Notenos music, though I do not speak much Spanish or know more than just a few Mexicans. I also like Tish Hinojosa, not really Mexican or Nortenos, though often in Spanish. I boat on the Mississippi some with my husband. We have a fishing boat, yet neither of us fishes much. I like it best when we are anchored near a bank or island and I can study the plants and birds from a few yards away. So for me, the river is another viewpoint on the things of the land. This past weekend the river was so calm it was like a mirrored lake. Two weeks ago, it was so ferocious I thought I was on the ocean in a storm. I needed several hours to regain my landlegs, believe it or not! I will tell more over time as I become more comfortable here. Okie doke? Frank, you live in Malmö? Years ago I had an online gardening acquaintence from Malmö. I have never met anyone from Sweden in real life. My world really is unfortunately small so the internet has really been wonderful for making connections and expanding the world.
Hi Joan, new here myself, moved to Minnesota in 96 from Northeastern Missouri! Hope to see ya around here! and welcome :-D
to the Stew, Joan. It's great to meet you. Your growing situation sounds great!! I've been known to plant a few things slightly over the boundry into my neighbor's property . . . . . . always with permission, of course.
