@debthehermit.bsky.social

You’re “friendly” neighborhood hermit. Dog lover, mom, and political junkie. I love photos of nature. I just never get out in it to take them anymore. 😢 I am prone to typos as I have a disorder that causes my hands to shake called Essential Tremor.

Nah I’ll run about naked in preference to being warm. 😂 I grew up in the snow belt in the 60s and 70s. I used up all the body heat I’d ever have during enforced family snowman building, walking half a mile to and from school, and just being booted outside for “Playtime.” No thank you!
