The indoor green thumb
Or not so green. I've successfully kept my dwarf lemon and lime trees alive for several years. But the reason I got them was for lemons and limes. Those I haven't seen.

A Blast of the Past #79: Ren Fest 2006
Today let's take a brief look at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival in 2006. Post of these pictures are of either my performance group, other performers I traveled around with during my off stage times at the festival, or from the daily parade.
