February 14, 2006:

Front yard a mosaic of miniature rock gardens, each one the grave site of a beloved family pet. White rock border, green rock border, coral rock border, gray rock headstones. Shoulder to shoulder, fence to fence, without path or walkway. Raked and tended.

In the window, a sun-faded bumper sticker: United We Stand.
