About Me

People say I'm:

funny, eclectic, an "Earth Mother", sexy, adorable, good hearted, a good listener, beautiful, witty, sarcastic smart as a whip....Oh, sorry, that wasn't them, it was me. My bad. , * I have no idea what people say...they generally shut up when I enter the room.
Describe Yourself:

I am a Geriatric Nurse with over 30 years experience.
I am a technical widow, but engaged to the man of my dreams, and it only took me 43 years to find him.
I enjoy natural settings, camping, hiking and playing in the woods. I take great pride in my Hillbilly heritage, and no, we were never so uppity as to call ourselves "Southern". I come from strong farmer stock, and proudly wear the moniker.
I'm a great cook, and honest friend.
I have a sarcastic lean, and hope to not offend with my wit, but if I do, tough shit!
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

I am looking to hone my craft, find my voice, entertain a few, and generally enjoy myself.

Hi Donna,
I wrote a blog and it holds an honest question for you personally...
It is not a generic post please take a second to check it out.
If you click on the blue writing below it will take you directly there.
Do you have a need or something in your life that you would like prayer for?

Reaching Out,
Angela

Just letting you know that rabbits (at least, Missouri Rabbits) do not eat marigolds. You were correct there. However, they eat absolutely everything else. I got so fed up that I bought cheap plastic flowers, and just stuck them in the ground, and the damned bunnies even ate all the leaves off of those. I hope they got the runs from them.
So, good advice, and if you like Marigolds, then plant them with confidence that they will not be eaten. Also, Planting them in pots with other flowers does not work to protect the "other flowers." They ate THEM down to the level of soil, and then ate the plastic flowers for dessert. Hmmmm.
