I live in Euless, Texas. We moved here from Florida three years ago. The back yard is where I attempt to grow things that are fit to eat. Sometimes this works well. Sometimes things horribly wrong, but in any case, it sure beats a day at the office.

The back yard is home to paranoid house sparrows, marauding jays, lunatic squirrels, deafening cicadas, dim witted doves, and an angry house wren that has to put up with that this noise.
