We’ll always line up for our spring dogs at Heid’s

When my dear wife Karen recited her wish list for our Saturday to-do list, she finished with a flourish. Our annual spring visit to Liverpool hot dog-and-more stand Heid’s awaited. I did not argue the lunch treat to follow plant-hunting at Ballantyne Gardens nursery (teaser for tomorrow’s post) and the weekly supermarket run (no need…

A reflection of a relaxing evening
