    Hi all,
    I live in a small town in central Utah, I live on 1/2 acre, Have 3 water gardens, 4 dogs and the sweetest Husband ever. I have 5 kids all grown and gone. My home was built in 1888 still sound as a rock. I love gardening, fish and fishing. My husband has two kinds of cancer and a mitral valve failure in his heart, so we live one day at a time and to the fullest we can manage. I am nearly 56 and have had a lot of experiences in life so far. I was a horseshoer for many years but have retire from that now. I am a vet tech for a local vet, so all is well for me here in Utah for now. I like the forum so far, Thanks for the welcome.

    Hi there and a big, warm welcome to our forums from West Lothian In Scotland. I'm an organic gardener who has a wildlife pond in her garden. It still amazes me just how much wildlife has moved in and made it their home. I look forward to getting to know you. :-D
