I volunteer at an animal shelter. I donate to childrens programs. I love gardening. I love the smell of flowers. I have a garden. I am planning to plant flowers in it to attract bees.  bought some zinnias and marigolds. I wok in a shipyard. I am retired from the military. I served in the Air Force. After the military I went to work in the shipyard. I build boats. I don't have a large income. I used to have a husky when I was growing up but I do not anymore. I have a supportive network of friends and family who help me garden. I am very busy. I am happy with my work-life balance.
I prefer dogs over rabbits. I have two dogs. I am a teacher. I love children. I teach 9th grade English. I don't have a large income. I have a garden in my house. I love the smell of flowers. I like gardening because it is relaxing. My husband used to be in the marine. I love puppies. I like peonies and hydrangeas. I have rose bushes. I am very busy. I have a soft spot for animals.
Someone donated a lot of money to the shelter I work at! I hope those funds will go towards helping the animals who most need it. That's so awesome! I'm sure it will really help. I wish more people would give to non-profits.  I managed to get out into the garden yesterday, got all my rose bushes pruned! I love roses! How long have you gardened? I've been gardening since I was a little girl, too many years to mention, LOL.  I learned to garden from my grandmother. I have very fond memories of being out in the garden with her. Did you get your marigolds and zinnias planted? No I didn't plant them yet, I don't like the heat, so it's been too hot. I did make progress in adopting a dog though! I agree, the weather has been miserably hot, and so humid! And a new dog, that's wonderful! I assume you are getting it from the shelter? What kind, how old, boy or girl? Spill the details please. I'm going to adopt a senior dog! He's been there for a while and I'm a sucker for a cute face. We don't know what  kind of breed he is so he's a lovable mix You are such a good person.  My daughter adopted a very old poodle from the shelter several years ago.  He's blind now, but still such a joy to be around.  I bet if I volunteers at the shelter, I would have like, 100 dogs and cats.  Oh, I've never seen a poodle but I've always thought them to be so adorable. You can always volunteer here with your daughter! We can always use the help and it feels so great helping out I know the shelters always need more volunteers.  I volunteer for the women's shelter, and just don't think I have time to add another place into my schedule.  Teaching keeps me so busy, and the dogs miss me when I'm go so much. How is the women's shelter? I would love to donate some money there if possible That would be great.  It's surprisingly busy, I can't believe how many women come from abusive situations.  We can always use extra clothing, blankets, makeup, and of course money.  I only go one day a week, I help some of the women who didn't graduate high school to get their GED.
