Sonoma County Harvest Fair

It’s time (Sept 30-Oct 2) for the 2011 Sonoma County Harvest Fair. Right on schedule the vineyards around the county are laden with ripening fruit that give testament to the bounty that Luther Burbank loved about Sonoma County. You can’t see the densely grouped clusters without appreciating the gift that nature bestows on us. The [...]

Sonoma County Fair – Brilliant!!

As soon as we were clicked through the entrance and escaped the  bombardment of the knives, fudge, and dill pickles in the Pavilion, we were treated to the sound of the  most glorious tenor singing his heart out.  I’m a sucker for a good tenor.  He was part of a group called The Don Giovannis.  We [...]

Wow!  SRT has stepped up its game!  I am so impressed with the cast they have put together this year.  First of all, as I began to look through the program, I noticed that many of them are just stunning as far as looks go… I mean gorgeous!  And secondly, they can sing AND dance.  [...]

Whole Foods Santa Rosa

Whole Foods Adventure

It probably wasn’t the best timing on our part to visit the new Santa Rosa Whole Foods Market in Coddingtown…  It was late afternoon and we hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so that made everything in the store look twice as delicious. You’ll see by our shopping list that we ended up buying way too many [...]

Conservation Opportunity in Healdsburg

Doing good while you’re doing well. Wealth, whether newly achieved or a family legacy, carries opportunities that aren’t available to everyone. Choosing whether to endow a favored school, subsidize an opera production,  or make donations to favored charities are all legitimate choices for those who can afford to be generous. Many people concerned with the [...]

6,000 Coho Salmon Find New Home

It was a magical day for me, a dozen high school students, assorted conservation folks and two generous and wise land owners who offered their property as a new aquatic home for 6,000 coho salmon.  I was impressed with the organization of the team from the Coho Salmon recovery program for the Russian River. I’ve tried [...]

Sonoma County Fair Horse Racing

Sonoma County Fair

Home from the fair and everything seems dim by contrast.  It was a spectacular day – mid 80′s- sunny and breezy.  We set out to have a fun day and we did! I love horse racing!   Horses are such gorgeous animals – strong, sleek, and fast.  The crowd anticipates each race, bettors studying the [...]

A Tour of the “Island of Sonoma”… West County Day Trip

April is usually the time I like to go to Hawaii, but why bother when we live on the beautiful island of Sonoma County? Any time is a good time for a “Circle the Island” trip! Beginning in Guerneville, we head out to the coast, past cows and sheep, redwood trees, and views of the [...]
