Backyard & Gardening Pages

Visitor Number Hit Counter since January 12, 2009

(Note: All Visitor Counters were reset in January 2009.)

The slide show you are about to see is a combination of many yard and garden photos from our past. The house in the field on the hill, the gardening photos, the boys at a young age, are all from our home in Westminster, Md, where we lived from December 1984 through April 1995. The white house in the woods and all the photos with woods close by are from our home in Virginia, where we have lived from October 1996 until now. If we ever move I'll put in an ending date!

At the bottom of this page, after the slide show are some more links to backyard and garden related subjects. I hope you will enjoy these pages.

If you are on a "dial-up modem" this slide show could take up to 10 minutes or so to load, so please be patient. About 20 of the photos are the same as the slide show on the "About Me" page, but the rest are a continuation of the same subject. There is a total of 72 photos in this slide show.
