A few photos from Brian and Bea’s weekend adventure.

I’ve been waiting and waiting for Winter to arrive, but now it’s Spring. It sort of snuck up on me. We went for a little walk through the nearby vineyard today. The grass is greening up and primroses are growing in all the yards like dandelions. There are always lots of cats around. I think…
