National Night Out

We celebrated National Night Out tonight with a group of our neighbors, including these gentlemen. The annual event really is a great way to connect with the people you live by and we're lucky to have such an enthusiastic bunch.

First of the Season

These Stupice tomatoes are the first to ripen in our backyard. They've already been made into a Caprese salad. There are still nine more types of tomatoes to come and we can't wait!
