My friends on Pender Island have a massive walnut tree in their front yard. Its impressive girth easily accommodates two shade-seeking cars during "My door-handle's too hot to touch, how about yours?" weather.

We know how it is; sometimes you just want to flirt. You shouldn't have to settle down and say yes to an entire bottle of wine that you know nothing about, beyond its name and where it came from. Really. Life is too short for regrets, especially in wobbly economic times.
