About Me
- Name: grannyfiddler
- Location: waynorth, Alberta, Canada
Money isn't everything, but it IS SOMETHING. Self-sufficient livng in the bush yielded marginal success. Tried to make it on creative brilliance, but not much lit up. Learned some skills-house painter, rough (read "uses chainsaw")carpenter, etc. Took a 2 year business course at the local college-finance and accounting. And found myself. Numbers are reliable. They always give the same answer-never change their minds, wear out, break, leave or go out of style. If something doesn't add up there's an answer if you patiently look. There is order in the universe! No longer an itinerant fiddler/artist, I'm an accountant with a creative side. Started in a city, moved to a bush cabin, the Yukon, apartment in the city, farm, and back to the city. Through it all yearning for a big yard with trees for the kids to climb, garden, and studio. Bought a run-down, old frame church in a small town, complete with maple trees and raised the last 2 of 4 kids there. The realtor who sold it to me felt guilty selling it to a single mom;he helped renovate. Still one of my best friends. Of course,never finished it while the kids were here - it's nearly complete.

I am an Echinacea.
So not me. I must have cheated on some of the questions.
I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving the comment.
If I ever have the opportunity to eat squirrel, I will keep it in mind. Perhaps they would just be better as a coat. ;)
BTW, I am sorry to hear of your friend's loss. Blessings to guide her way.

I didn't even know Echinecea was an option! It didn't seem to matter how I fudged my answers, I kept coming through as "Snapdragon". At least I've got good company with Lindsay!
I took the test and it wouldn't give me an anwer. What do you think that means?
i wonder how many choices there are? maybe it's just based on something irrelevant, like the letters in your web address.
leslee - i think you get to name your own flower! you can't be put in a narrow little category.
