Hello!

Goooooooooood evening!

Sorry for a bit of a late reply. My day got particularly busy in the afternoon and had some things to do before I succumbed to sitting on the couch(aka getting a workout in). To answer those wonderful questions -

Dogs - Standard poodles! I currently have two geniuses running around the house(1 and 3 years old) and hunting in the yard for unsuspecting leaves. They love to combine their brain power to attempt any treat heists(which HAVE been successful) when I'm not looking. I'm trying to learn how to groom them so I can start giving them more frequent cuts(unfortunately paying 300+ a month on grooming isn't my jam lol). My hope is to add a third within the next few years to continue giving dogs a home(hopefully adopting a retired/elder show dog that needs a home).

Gardening - I usually plant a healthy mix of flowers and vegetables during the year. This season has some decent vegetables(currently zucchini, squash, carrots, and some chives) growing and a ton of prolific flowers(sunflowers, lilies, begonias, gladiolus , etc). So far it's been pretty warm which has caused all the flowers to basically kick it into high gear with growth. My lilies seem to think physics doesn't apply to them as they continue to grow well past their normal length and start to bend lol.

Canning - Gosh. I can definitely give pointers where possible. The biggest advice I always give to anyone looking to get into canning is to NEVER deviate from a trusted recipe. Not for possibility of things tasting weird, but for the casual risk of botulism(you know...paralysis). /r/canning is a wonderful source too! I'm hoping to pick and can some strawberries this weekend(weather dependent of course!) so I can replenish my strawberry jam/sauces.

Okay - long reply! I'm quite happy to meet you all!
