This is such a fun theme! I find it interesting how seeing people you've only "read" can sometimes affirm or negate impressions you never even realized you had. Oh, and has anyone else been surprised at someones gender now that they've seen a pic (no need to name names)? You can't always tell by usernames!
I agree with you on the gender thing. Twice I said the wrong gender and boy was I embarrassed! If you look by their names their is a little arrow showing gender and now they are either pink or blue.
So with your little "destroyer" if you get table tops, will he then think that climbing those will be a challenge, lol! He sure is a cutie though!

Re: Monthly Avatar Theme February: Show Yourself!
Not everyone chooses to disclose their gender when they fill out their profile though. Notice my own doesn't have that indicator.
Tricia, yes - climbing table tops would be a fun challenge! Indoors he finds all kinds of things he can push or carry around to use as a stool to reach something - hopefully outdoors he wouldn't be able to do that. He enjoyed stomping through my garden so much last year because he was a beginning walker back then and he could grab onto the trellis and walk the length of it, holding on for support. The grid gave him additional motivation - he liked to stand in each of the squares!

Re: Monthly Avatar Theme February: Show Yourself!
Gwennifer, you're right, some don't mention their gender! Your little guy sounds like a typical little guy, they sure keep you on your toes! They sure are fun!
GWN, I mentioned Rooster as a woman once and Chopper as a man. Boy, embarrassing! Good thing these wonderful people don't hold a grudge, lol!

Wonderful catch Gilly!

Re: Monthly Avatar Theme February: Show Yourself!
Here is who is behind the garden gnome!
It's snowing here, not yet a good time to make improvement to the garden I guess.
No, this is not ALL my garden but I wanted to show you the place where we have the community garden. Inhabitants of the area made an agreement with the owner and the town to install this planting area on what was before a sterile lawn with a no-ball-games sign.
It's a win-win-win contract and everyone is happy. Inhabitants because they can cultivate a piece of soil, owner because he doesn't have to pay to have the lawn mowed anymore, and the town authorities because they understand the benefits of this kind of projects. This place is a wonderful social meeting point where people exchange advice, seeds and good recipes.
In the other photo, my neighbor friend who is largely responsible for my experience in becoming an sfg adept.

O.K. here goes. I can't figure out how to get a photo to post, however I have a link to my farm blog that tells a little about me.

My Avatar is a self portrait that I painted of........well, myself.

Re: Monthly Avatar Theme February: Show Yourself!
I called for my husband to come into the computer room and look at a picture, wouldn't give him a clue. At the door way he said "Oh, man!" He called you a lucky mustard or something like that.

BOFFER, You can post that cropped face shot for me.
