Another Devastating Tragedy for the Santa Barbara Area!

My last post was about the terrible fires we were having in our area. As the holidays rolled around, we thought that we were past the worst of it.

Learning from the Rhythm of Nature

Springtime is a wonderful time of year! It seems like there’s so much new life bursting forth all around us. Trees are leafing out. Flowers are blossoming. Baby animals are being born.  It’s a great time of new beginnings!
