This blog posting is just so much fun that I decided to do another post! This one is a little bit more about who I am and what I'm about.
I chose my online name because, first, my mother calls me Rose on HER blog. Why? Well, it seems that she thinks I'm like a rose in that I'm sensitive, quiet and gentle, with an unexpected strength, firmness of purpose and resilience. So much for the rose part.
How about Sherwood? Well...I'm not quite a tame rose in a sedate cultivated garden. I'm a hybrid between a lovely tame rose and a free wild rose blooming in the foliage of Robin Hood's hideout, Sherwood Forest.
The tame, sedate part of me loves the gentle cottage garden life. This part helps to explain why I NEVER want to get out of bed. Ever.
In contrast, the Sherwood Forest/Maid Marion part of the name sometimes overcomes my love of domestic delights (i.e. sleep, reading, eating, reading some more, sleep) and drags me off on adventures, for which I'm usually grateful once the adventure is in full swing or over. Unfortunately, these adventures tend to overlap each other so that I don't have much breathing time before the next one comes my way. So my full name is Rose of Sherwood, comfort-loving adventurer, lover of forest green and petal pink, and (for this is where all those adventures got me) Defender of Truth, Goodness and Beauty.
