Have 7 acres outside Huntsville and love growing things: banana trees, pineapple plants, lilikoi (passionfruit), aloe, spearmint, lemon balm, Spanish tarragon, plantain, lamb's quarters, whatever I can get my hands on. I play a little of everything and love to sing harmony. I draw. I love my pitbulls and my cat.
