Winter pruning is for suckers
It’s winter. The occasional frost tips the blades of grass creeping slowly but surely through the brown, dry turf we don’t water all summer long, conserving water for the warm season crops of vegetables and orchard trees.

Decoding Teenagers: The Creeper
Happy Holidays to everyone out there. As much as I enjoy Christmas, it can be a hectic time and I’m glad to be moving forward. I’m thankful that my family spent it together, in peace and that we all enjoyed each other’s company and savored our wonderful Christmas dinner.
Let’s Book It
I grew up listening to music by the Beach Boys, and wanted so much to join them and become a Surfer Girl. A drawback: I lived in Chicago. But I could channel surf on the TV, couch surf as I got older when visiting with friends in other cities and also web surf when shopping for the holidays. Now, looking forward to the new year it appears that our library invites us all to Adventure Surf! It does not matter when or where you live in Sonoma County, opportunities to experience joy and accomplishment are offered to all ages. Check out the events listed below, and get on board. And you don’t have to worry about sharks!
Off the Top of My Head: Communication Skills
For the New Year I am going to concentrate on better communication. Communication is the cornerstone of any good relationship. And, I’m worried about my long-term relationship with my wife. Our hearing isn’t what it used to be and when she’s talking I’m not always hearing.
Country Roads: No longer in service
Yesterday I made two reservations on The Empire Builder Amtrak to bring my daughter Sarah and I to northern Montana in mid-January. This is a repeat trip that we enjoyed very much when my husband, Joel, was alive. We traveled to see his family and we boarded the Coast Starlight in Davis, and got off at the small prairie town of Shelby, Montana, just east of Glacier Park and Browning.

Multicultural Center takes shape at Abel de Luna
Bursts of color explode from every corner and every angle of the newly repainted Abel de Luna Community Center on the north side of town. Fuchsia, sunflower, marigold, plum and chrysanthemum abut and juxtapose with one another on the many outside walls and columns, as two muralists work on their own visions of Healdsburg.
