We love our prairie here at Kismet but as part of our landlord rebuilding our retaining wall that is falling down he has decided to remove the prairie and replace it with grass.
Sad yes, but on the bright side you can come get some native prairie for your own yard for free! It'll just cost you some time and sweat to dig up your new plants!
If you'd like more info about where and what, message us!

Hello friends!

When your family is sleeping in because they stayed up past midnight watching Legally Blonde (your 5 year old's first time, and they prefected their bend and snap) and you are an early riser (only while travelling) you head downstairs to the free breakfast and avail yourself of a pen from the front desk to start your annotations of a manuscript of 'The Spellshop' by Sarah Beth Durst.
So far, I'm in LOVE. It's been a while since I was so immediately enraptured with a character and the lovely, sad, complicated world they live in.
This one promises to be cozy, smart and a little funny.
Let's see how much I can get done before the family finds me!
Thanks and for this very early copy!
