About Ritva...

Like the Beatles:
"doing the garden, digging the weeds
who could ask for more -
will you still need me
will you still feed me (with cute cards)
when I'm sixty-four?"
I am now! 64 :-)
I am a gardener with a small business of my own. It is called 'Pihanilo' (=joy of a garden). Summers are busy, working outdoors all day long.
During the weekends I enjoy digging in my own little garden, cycling, swimming and enjoying the sunshine, whenever it pleases to appear :-)
In the winter I have time to read and watch DVD-movies. Every now and then I go to swim in the nearby lake with my daughter - it is cold but refreshing. Also I feed the birds and squirrels.
Squirrels are so cute. I once had an orphan baby-squirrel to take care of.
I like hairy dogs, too. I've had two Tibetan Terriers - many years ago.
I have seen some dvd:s of penguins, they are just fantastic and lovely "persons". If you find a card of them, I'd be glad to have one :-)
Blue is my favourite colour - in the spring I like sunshine-yellow.
I like flowers, pavilions, cute statues, modern art, glass-houses and all kind of little things that make a garden exciting.
I have visited some amazing parks abroad, but there are still many places I haven't seen. So, I'd love to see them at least in postcards.
Any friendly, cute card is welcome - well, except sports.
I like self-made cards, too.
