Can’t help but remembering

January 6th, 2008 by J. · 2 Comments

that a year ago today, Matt and I drove over to Joshua’s Native Plants to look at some plants (of course), and then on the way home had an argument because . . . well, I don’t remember, entirely.  It was something about me wanting all kinds of different shrubs, of a certain, very full [...]
