Sketches by Frank.  He gets the prize for being the lone sketcher at the Brown.  I love how he captured all these tavern characters!

Christianson's Schoolhouse and Yard


The sprinkler was going in full force at the front of the schoolhouse, so we sat in the back (shade) and side (sun).  The garden is still beautiful with hydrangeas, and many fragrant roses.

It was so much fun to become acquainted with this winery in south Mt. Vernon.  Thanks, Sandy, for setting it up.  They have tastings for $5.00 with a variety of whites and reds.  We hope to return!
