Dallas Dog Days by Neil Swanson

I’m excited to announce a new project. I helped Neil out with a video for his upcoming instrumental album that he’s in the middle of. This is my second project with him and I’m consistently blow away at how talented he is. And he’s super easy to work with! Congrats to Neil and his accomplishments.

I didn’t plant any more things over the weekend, but I’m happy to report that I have some volunteer tomato and basil plants that have just sprouted along side this year’s new tomato crop.
