Another Week in Review…

I’ve spent most of the week on the landscaping.  It’s coming along pretty well I think.  I hope some of the plants actually live.  Sam asked why I keep taking pictures of all the plants.  I told him because it may be the last time we see these plants alive.  Some people have a green [...]

This is called Alp Light, by [...]

New Yarn

Look what came in the mail for me yesterday!
