Thank you. Thank you for the sun, the warm weather, the seeds that are sprouting and the really simple plastic covers that are making it all possible. Thank you for it all. It’s such a blessing to walk in the garden everyday and delight in new growth and green. The plastic is a new idea […]
This week the cover came off the schooner! Sunny, warm, and folks we are going sailing soon. Now it’s just a race to see what we can get done before we drop the paint brushes and sanders, the cleaning rags and brass polish and hoist the sails for the first time. This is a lovely […]
