What’s a small thing that always makes your day better?
Spending time with my chickens! My girls all love cuddles and follow me around wherever I go. As soon as I sit down, they all clamber up onto my lap for a snuggle. It’s hard to have a bad day when you have these beautiful ladies running to greet you.
What’s a hobby or interest people might be surprised to learn you have?
I’m a huge plant nerd. I am really passionate about Wisconsin native plants and wildlife-friendly gardening. In my small ¼ acre yard, we have put in 20 fruit trees, many native shrubs and berries, 5 vegetable garden beds, and ripped out sod to create a micro-prairie. I also enjoy foraging for edible wild
plants and making tasty treats with them!
Your perfect Wisconsin weekend looks like…?
Waking up early to write and sip a cup of tea, hitting the trails to hike and birdwatch with my husband, puttering in my garden with my chickens, playing board games and eating good food with friends, and spending some quiet time by a bonfire with a book.
