I am a soil scientist and an environmentalist.  I enjoy constant learning about nature by reading books on soil life, trees, how nature works, climate processes and then applying this knowledge in my home farm and garden.  I am also a big proponent of permaculture...

My personal interests include reading, writing, Frisbee golfing, and scrapbooking. I try to live my life to the fullest and with no regrets, since I believe happiness is a choice and I very much enjoy being a happy person. Family is very important to me, so I try to spend as much time as possible with my husband, John, our 3 boys, our 4 dogs and our cat Cubby.

I was a distinguished and well-traveled kitty cat. I was originally from Lower Lake, California where I roamed the cool streets and got to smell the leaves in the Fall. I really liked it there and got to spend time with my best buddy, Brent who always loved me and gave me pats.
