Melanie

Posted on June 26, 2012 by Rusty

Safka, that is.  We snagged tickets to see her live in concert at the winery.  I’m so excited.  Sure, we’ll pay twice as much for a bottle of wine as it’s worth.  Ditto for the cheese and crackers, but it’s … Continue reading →

Posted on June 23, 2012 by Rusty

We got all four plants in the ground today:  two salmon-coppery colored clumps of coneflowers, one variegated andromeda, and a peach colored butterfly bush.  I bought the andromeda for sentimental reasons; I grew up with those in our yard, although … Continue reading →
