Tori (the tree)

eastern redbud tree finally arrived by mail – bare root, so am giving it plenty of attention in hope that it survives long enough to grow a decent root structure before winter. immediately planted it with Mira, who of course gave it a name…

dessert!

Mira and Лена made шоколадная колбаса, but had to wait until the morning to slice open the first one for a taste. shocking amounts of butter and sugar, but oh so yummy…
