No Cowboying for the Tosetti's Tomorrow
Written by Melissa Tosetti   
Friday, 12 March 2010

We were scheduled to help my dad's friends brand cattle tomorrow in Mariposa, CA.  Unfortunately, the branding was called off due to rain.  As Paul and I talked about last night, branding cattle is dangerous enough when it is dry, add rain and someone is likely to get hurt.

Although we are disappointed about the branding, we are looking forward to having a day at home.  I plan to do a little spring cleaning and a lot of reading.  Paul has aspirations of going out to his studio to work on a few art projects that he has going.  Throughout the day there will be plenty of playing with Dante and the dogs.  If it doesn't rain in Redwood City, I am hoping we can go kite flying.

Have a good weekend everyone!

My Fruit Trees Are Flowering
Written by Melissa Tosetti   
Thursday, 11 March 2010

This morning I noticed that the fruit trees we planted last year are starting to flower.  With a little luck and continued good weather, I should be able to harvest our first crop early this summer. 

We did have one casualty.  Spur decided that pomegranate trees are good for teething.  She chewed it to the ground.  I am already on the lookout for a replacement tree.
