Happy Phelantine’s Day
Stopped by Leoland for a Valentine drop-off, and bit of cake & coffee.
Gary and Pat Leo are the archetypical Fairfax pair, married forever, with a garden that strongly resembles Eden.
Right now, there are two dozen greedy songbirds hopping around their milkweed thistle feeders.
The air is perfumed with Daphne odora (wish it could grow over here), and the sky has changed from pink/orange-and-blue striped dawn to the clear pale winter blue we’ve seen a lot of this winter.
The town’s buzzing: our trusty health food store, the Good Earth, which began in a tiny house in 1969, has expanded (for the second time) and the first official day will be a big fat party...
as a good earther just getting home from putting my portion of the store together (bulk herbs) I’ll tell you, it was a huge effort getting the store put together today. i hope people enjoy it.
