Hi Maggie and welcome. I found you through @welcomewagon and I'm glad they took you under their wing. They found me too a little while ago and I've learned soooo much from @dreemsteem. Your description of your hometown and the river is beautiful. Enjoy the ride on the welcomewagon and beyond. There is so much to discover here on steemit. It widens one's horizon because you get to know perspectives other than your own much more than on other social media platforms. I find that very educational and enriching :)
