Only a few strangers came by. But we had a bunch of folks we know stop by at the end for wine, beer, cheese and bread, supplemented by a gruyere penne ‘Mac and cheese’ dish and excellent smoked salmon Dave made the day before (so the place wouldn’t smell like smoke on the tour). The garden was really looking good, thanks to plenty of April and early May rain, and a bunch of days with sun and temp in the 80’s. Afternoon dinner on the deck with the sun that came out despite the prediction of rain.
One of the tour folks was a writer who is freelance and wants to submit an article for Sunset about native gardens, or is going to write it, we’re not sure. He took a bunch of photos, after asking permission. A photographer who wanted to take the photos for the article came out the nest week, the writer knows him. But then Sunset sent out another photographer (after asking) to take the photos a couple of days later. We could be in Sunset, that would be cool. I keep thinking about ways I should clean up the yard, but it is a fairly natural setting. We will see!
