  • Since my Mom's taken up birdwatching, I can share Nature with another of my favorite people! She also likes to go on plant forays with me :)
  • My Mom and Dad always tease us about "eating stuff out of the yard". Sometimes we actually talk them into trying it!
  • Dave and I joined the Houston branch of the Native Plant Society of Texas. We *love* it although we don't make it up there as often as we would like anymore. You should check into it in your area. We do field trips, monthly meetings with nice presentations, build gardens for people (Moody Gardens in Galveston is next!) and other fun stuff.
  • Visit our other site The I Love Zombies Page which is all about anything and everything zombie. It's a bit out-of-date, but still packed with tons of tasty tidbits. (Why zombies? I collect zombie memorabilia!)
