We sure have a LOT to learn as this year unfolds.  Today a friend of ours came by to show us how to cut back our two vines and some of the fruit trees.

shooting them vermin!
Wednesday, 05 March 2008

and a very welcome back to Italy to me!


We just discovered a few days ago, that we have a type of vermin making nests in our umbrella pine trees.  From what we have been told the "nests" that are visible near the tops of the trees are somewhat poisonous and we should have them removed.

starbucks time!
Friday, 22 February 2008
It is inevitable when you are in Seattle that you will at some point end up drinking a Starbucks coffee. 

A couple years ago Starbucks opened a coffee shop in downtown Edmonds and my parents have become regulars ever since.
