GET TO KNOW ME, WELL HERE WE GO!

As far as the three topics that should not be included in this contest, for me they are easy to avoid. Politics is like Monopoly, money wins out every time, I detest the subject. For me religion is personal. Opinions on religion are just that, opinions. How then does this topic seem to bring out the worst in people! I will tell you how, people truely believe their opinion is the only one that counts. If more people were to acquiesce to this one simple line from Desiderata by Max Ehrman, "Therefor be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be", then religion would be worthy of discussion, and not bring out the EVIL side of religious know it alls. The third topic, crypto, blockchains, hard forks, etc. is all above my pay grade!

Well lets get started with some previously posted content that may give you a little insight into who I am.

Hello, my name is Ms. Sugar Maple and I have been around for many years. Well, after living alongside my hubby for over 85 years we finally ended up lying face down in the forest. What would become of us. So many of our neighbors had gone up in smoke. Would this be our demise?

What an exquisite plant. Five days ago I posted pictures of hops that I have growing. These are native hops that I believe were planted by the early settlers of McDonough.

This is the treck we make to get to the prolific blueberry patch. The first leg of the outing we do on the 4 wheeler. It is a beaufiful journey into the forest. We are on the bike for about a 1/4 of a mile until we come to a small wooden bridge.
