  • May is Wildflower Month May 17, 2012
      May is underway, the month that is the bridge between Spring & Summer.  In the Santa Monica Mountains, it is a month of vibrant color.  The hillsides are bejeweled in blooms of yellow, orange, pink, white, purple & blue.  Flowers are strewn from here to there, seemingly at random, as if at the whim […]

Hoe, Hoe, Hoe!

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference,

ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up

to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
