Power Conserver
I've been lurking for quite some time, just amazed at the weath of information and wisdom here. I'm afraid I don't have much to offer - I am new to this, and stuck where I am for now, but I do have big dreams. I was actually googling the Denver airport when I found this site, as someone had just told me about all the "strangeness" about it, and I've really liked flying through there, forgot all about that when I landed here.
I'm 50, I've been a widow for almost 8 years now, have one biological son (2 biological grandkids) who live in northern CA, and four stepdaughters (7 stepgrandkids) who live here. My dream is to move to CA near my son and his family - they have recently gotten 5 acres there.
I have 2 Shelties and 1 senior cat (14) and 2 kittens who are a year and a half but can't be convinced that they are "grown-up" now and should behave as such. I live in town, in a sub-division, but behind my house is woodland, at least for now. I feed the birds, squirrels, possums, raccoons and whoever else might drop by. My dream would be to work at a wildlife refuge, but I don't know if I can make that happen, so in my search for something for me, I have decided on beekeeping. I read everything I can get my hands on about bees and though I have no hands-on experience yet, I really want to learn. We'll see how that goes.
As for other interests, I love to read and have a house overflowing with books. In my downsizing, my books and pictures are exempt. I really enjoy photograph, particularly of nature and of course, the grandkids.
Thank you all for sharing - I have learned much by lurking, hope to learn more!
