I'm a Paramedic and volunteer Firefighter
Model and Actress
Mother of 3 wonderful children and 3 adoptees I claim... I love children.
I love guns... still learning about them everyday, but grew up hunting and fishing, making our own fishing poles, and calling coyotes.
I ask for guns for Christmas! I get told "That's too big for you alot!" LOL
I believe in eat what you kill. Although there are exceptions to every rule... including dogs chasing your cattle repeatedly (and the owners don't care) and road kill... yup, that came into effect after my kiddos tried to make me take home a opossum I ran over on accident. I refuse to pay for his suicidal tendencies :D
I learned most everything I know about the outdoors being that annoying little sister following my brother around. I did alot of grunt work to put it lightly, but I earned my rights to shoot finally.
Strangly enough, the rule was that if he didn't kill it I got to save it... so I had alot of pet rabbits in little casts in my closet til my one escaped and that ended my hunting survivor hospital. (Yeah I'm a medic...lol) The badger I brought home to nurse back to health didn't go over very well either... lmao... apparently it wasn't a baby bear!!! Ha!! Yeah not one of my brighter moments... I was little and luckily survived through it, and learned alot about nature in the process.
I can spot poisen ivy a mile away :D
Mullberrys are good fishing bait!
"Oppossum grapes" make the best jelly ever!
I love to laugh, love, live, and give to those who deserve it... occasionally to some who don't.
Give me a lemon.. I'll make you some lemonade
Give me a lime... I'll make up a tecate in a frozen glass

Every flower has a history and every flower symbolizes something. Often the history and symbols are confusing and contradictory but they are still fascinating. If your birthday is in the month of June, your flower is the rose. Here is the story and language of your flower.
The Linguistic Roots for the Name Rose
The Latin name for the rose, rosa, literally means red. Diana Wells suggests that saying that rose means red is like saying the heart is a muscle situated on the left side of the rib cage, it is an incomplete understanding of what the blossom symbolizes.
History of the Flower
Quite possibly the most popular flower in the history of the world, the rose has a multitude of legends and myths surrounding it. A flower of such prominence must be related to the gods of our world or at least one would think so when considering the wealth of otherworldly associations attached to the blossom. Was the smile of Amor the source of our first rose or did it fall from the hair of the goddess of dawn, Aurora?
The sweet scent and frowsy beauty of the blossom resulted in it being popular among the rulers of this world. The infamous Cleopatra had her pillows filled with rose petals. Romans used petals to decorate their feasts and even had canopies filled to shower petals upon the guests. Sometimes the Romans love of roses became too much and the shower of petals would actually smother guests.
The Symbolism of Roses
Jewish legends attributed the color of the rose to the first blood that darkened the earths soil. The Teutons believed the rose was a symbol of the underworld and called their battlefields rose gardens.
Just wanted to give you a reason to smile today!
The flower for the month of May is the lily of the valley. Here is the story and language of this flower.
Linguistic Roots for the Name Lily of the Valley
The lily of the valley heralds from northern Europe. As a result, it did not originally have a Latin or Greek name. The monks who named it had knowledge of botany and so chose a Latin name for it that had religious connotations. They named it lilium convallium (now convallaria majalis), lily of the valley. The naming of the plant referred not only to the flower’s tendency to grow in valleys but also to the Song of Solomon where we read the phrase “I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley.”
The official Latin name convallaria majalis means valley (convallaria) and the month of May (majalis), which probably refers to where and when it blooms.
History of the Flower
One of the colloquial names for the lily of the valley is Our Lady’s Tears because legend claims that the flower sprung up from the Virgin Mary’s tears, which she shed at the foot of the cross. As a result, the flower became associated with Mary.
In ancient times, boys and girls would pick bouquets of lily of the valley because it was supposed to bring good fortune in love. Because of the timing of the plant’s blossom, it was often referred to as May Lily or May Bells.
Just thought maybe you would like to get a flower today! If that made you smile, my mission was accomplished!
