Your table is waiting. . .
Construction of the Cafe del Solveig, an exciting new bistro at the intersection of Stoney Ridge and Rock Crest in rural Tucson has been completed with a Grand Opening scheduled for this weekend.Assembly of four redwood planters with terra cotta inserts was finished this afternoon and burgundy and pink petunias planted in fertile soil, something rare in these parts.
Once they get rolling, the bright annuals should provide a brilliant accent to the beige and brown neighborhood.
Inclement weather has ruined most of the winter blooms in the area. The new lightweight redwood planters stuffed with annuals can easily be toted into the garage when cold weather threatens. It is also hoped that the height of the wall around Cafe del Solveig will discourage rabbits from foraging overnight. Time will tell.
After a week or so of perfect 70 degree weather, rain, hail and cooler weather have prevailed over the past couple of days. The hail didn't amount to much, just rattled the skylights and scared Kathleen, but there is a tee time at noon tomorrow with high hopes of balmy conditions.
We anticipate the Saturday visit of Linda Letnes and Karen and Don Kirmis. They'll motor here from Phoenix, arriving around 10 a.m. for brunch.We hope to post souvenir photos of the Grand Opening of Cafe del Solveig.
