Abundance



Mostly we intend to focus on perennials. But who can resist zinnia's? They are starting to bloom and they are beautiful. We'll keep the zinnia's around. For whatever reason, they feel era appropriate, like they belong here.

We enjoyed our first sit-down, candle-lit, home-cooked dinner with special guests last night in the classroom! Cloth napkins, parmesan grater, toasted bread topped with mozzarella and fresh picked basil and drizzled with a summery balsamic vinegar gaze accompanied our three cheese stuffed tortellini drenched in a roasted garlic tomato sauce. We served a simple salad picked from our garden. Before dinner we raised our glasses to our collective victories,  with a special nod to Chad's mother Lauretta for helping to make our meal even more enjoyable by providing tables, chairs, glasses and cutlery. Thank you Lauretta!

In many ways, last night represented many dreams coming true. We are blessed with wonderful support from family and friends across the world.

Thank you!
