After the Freeze Plant Care
On the subject of the freeze and related plant and tree care, it still surprises me what made it through. My friends’ Rangoon creeper and tangerine cross vine hung in there and my Amaryllis are blooming like crazy.

Pivo’s Ice House
It’s sad to see that our wonderful ice house, Pivo’s, is up for sale. We’ll sure miss everything about it, those jalapeño burgers and Willie “greeting us” at the door, but we would like to wish our neighbors a well-earned, sweet retirement. Fingers crossed the new owners love it as much as we have.
