Antoine is so kind. He knows I have the skills to turn things brown that should be green. Yet and still he bought me something we’ve wanted for a very long time.

This past weekend, we decided to start a new project. Well, it wasn’t a planned project, it just kind of spontaneously happened after visiting one of our favorite gardening stores. Below is a video of how we are getting started.
