Turning over a new leaf

Yesterday marked Tu Bishvat which is (as you'll remember) the Jewish New Year of the Trees! Last year we successfully planted a giant sequoia, but no one told me you had to water it. This time Dana and Amir held a party complete with nuts, berries, and dried fruit. Hopefully the bulbs we were given will last longer than my tree...



Hannah checks that Amir's supplies were ethically produced from sustainable sources (that's why he's laughing).



Soon to be planted.



Sadly missing Twiglets.
