About Jo-Anne...
I am an artist and musician living in a remote rural area in Canada. I love the outdoors and the changing of the seasons, even winter, when the snow is piled high, the air is quiet and crisp, and the land is at rest.
The image I used for my avatar is a picture of our last batch of maple syrup from last year sitting atop our wood-chopping block. (just about to start it again this year!) We don't get much with our few maples but we do produce around 1.5 litres after boiling down. That's a nice haul! :)
I love to learn the "old arts" and do more things for myself, including health, herbs, cheesemaking, fermenting, and more.
Throughout the cold winters here, we heat only with wood that we have gathered in the fall right out of the forest.
I enjoy nature, music, and people. Musical instruments from around the world and musical culture interest me greatly! Unique natural landscapes and animals unique to a specific area are also things I enjoy! :) Peace and love to all!
