The Tea Bar is a relatively new shop in a renovated building, at a difficult intersection that finally is experiencing new investment after decades of stagnation.   While the two of us on today’s relatively short ride – there were Easter Sunday activities for young-uns, after all, that one of us had to be back for –  appreciated the owners’ effort, we felt installing art on the completely white walls was a missed opportunity for providing more character to the space.

Today’s discussion focused mostly on outdoor projects each of us had on our to-do lists.  M. had acquired a number of large water barrels, but hadn’t completed all the connections to complete the system; H moved last summer and has new wonderful backyard gardening  opportunities, that lured him to overdoing what his tweaky back was capable of.
