I don’t think that there could have been a more magical and perfect place to be this morning than the annual organic plant sale at the Crown Point Ecology Center. It was our first visit there, and most certainly not our last. The large red barn was filled with a huge variety of vegetable, herb…

end of a long weekend
Enjoyed a very restful four-day weekend filled with family, friends and fun. This morning, Greg and I hiked our now weekly Sunday trail. We headed back to the Nature Realm.

We left earlier this morning and headed to the Cleveland Botanical Garden to check out this year’s edition of Orchid Mania. I really believe that this…
happy birthday Greg
