Ah, Venice!

This NYTimes article on Venetian tapas, called cicheti, is making me very hungry, not just for food, but for a party. Unfortunately, our white peach tree has very serious peach leaf curl, so we may not have a great crop for making Bellinis. We may just have to buy peaches and then make some of these here cicheti. In our neighborhood, with our garden-conscious neighbors, the ailing peach tree is getting as much attention as a 3-foot high front lawn would. The tree is in the backyard too, so that's pretty serious. There's more of an investment for tree management than for weeding a flower bed, so that's where my energy is going. The tree is on my list though, and I do feel bad for it.

I was just rereading yesterday's post--golly, is that poorly written or what? I was going to edit it to make it better, but I won't. You get what I'm after....
