garden | News from Nan

From July 1-4, 2018, we were looking around Sonoma County, which is in the wine country north of San Francisco.

Ellen and Rick recently bought a lot up there, in the little town of Glen Ellen. The house on the lot was destroyed in the fires of last fall. Eventually they plan to rebuild on the property.
