My Answers to my Questions:

1. How long have you been blogging?

Two years – I think.

2. Why did you choose the topic(s) for your blog?

I have no idea. LOL!

No I definitely don’t. I keep expecting someone to point at me and yell “FAKE!”.

5. What’s your happiest earliest childhood memory?

My cousins and I being forced by my mother to row her around Zoo Lake like a reclining empress. She did this often, but it was always cool because she regularly fell overboard, jammy scone in hand.

6. If you could have any critter, real or imaginary, as a pet, what would it be?

A dragon would be cool.

7. What would you name it?

Tiny.

8. Why would a woodchuck chuck wood?

Because he’s aiming it at something?

Piscatarian. Is that right? I eat seafood.

I’ve got more than one read on the go right now, including Pratchett’s Unseen Academicals.

My love of animals and the Earth.
