Rosaquid on Squidoo

I'm a writer and gardener living in the remote Four Corners area of the United States.
My career history includes professional florist, private cook, business owner and, my favorite, homemaker. I've published articles on gardening, floral design and soil reclamation among other diverse and fascinating subjects.
I recently discovered Squidoo and I love it!
