Gro Buer 5/26/2017 9:03 PM9 of us went on a tour of wineries in 2 TESLAS from Leavenworth to Chelan! What fun and no gas used (but we had a gas). Walked 3 miles to do errands and came home late to close up the greenhouse and put up the chickens.-

Gro Buer 5/22/2017 7:45 PMHad to drive to Chelan to attend a non profit board training day, but carpooled. Tried to get others to join us, and then on the way saw 2 people I hadn't thought of, driving by. Darn! -
Gro Buer 5/21/2017 6:02 PMHiked up to Owl Peak with my daughter, over to a vernal pond, checked caged plants for deer damage and pulled salsify and white top from the driveway. Tried to see whether the 20% vinegar worked at killing the white top. The top was brown and withered, but don't know about the roots. Will watch to see if any new plants pop up. -
