For the children  and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, their laughter and their loveliness can clear a cloudy day.  Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow, they're a promise of the future, and a blessing for today.                J Denver

This is a photo of the front of our house.  We moved here about 7 years ago.  This is in early spring. The creeping phlox and candytuft are in full bloom.

This is the same garden in late spring... the stella'doros are blooming now as well as the climbing rose on the porch and the yuccas.

This is my husband Tom and I on our 20th wedding anniversary.

Here are my three sons, Jeremy, who is 26; Jesse, who is 22; and Jason,24.

This is my dog Xanadu.  She is a newfoundland mix. the picture was taken on NewYears eve.  Xany is 7 years old.

This is my dog Nori.  Nori is an AmericanStaffordshire Terrier. He is 19 months old here.  He is quite the little clown.  Not at all the dreaded Pitbull that he is made out to be.

This is my iguana, Puff the Majic Dragon.  She is almost 3, and is about 28 inches long....and growing.

This is my guinea pig, Buster. He is almost 7 years old.

My 70 gallon salt water aquarium. You can see a copperband butterflyfish in the lower right, and a hippo tang just to the left.  HumaHuma is in the upper left.

And this is my lionfish. He's hiding behind the coral in the other photo.  His name is Jaws.

In memory of my dear cat Frodo. He died in the spring of 1997 at 14 years old.

This year, I added some new pets...this is a pic of the cichlids in the aquarium...
