CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I Like to be inspired by human interactions, have fun in the sun, throw snow balls. I try to accept everyone for who they are and where they are in life.

Last year my husband and I started a small organic farm in the Skagit Valley with our dog Banjo! This is our second year farming, and we love it.
