LOL, SoCal really counted!?!
Weegy, I am so done for the day, except of course a few house chores.
I'd love to take you up on your offer to visit KC! Hope to find wcgypsy at the O'side Farmers Market too!
I also want to go visit the Quail Botanical Gardens. I've only been there once, and there were so many people there for the orchid show, I didn't have a chance to "feast my eyes" on anything other than the orchids.
sunnyG, I am blessed in so many ways. DH's family homesteaded this property about 100 years ago. For the most part, they kept it in pretty good shape. Except the parts they dumped their trash. We've been cleaning up trash for years and years. Still have some left too.
I rec'd a call from a friend who is a member of the Historical Society that I'd like to be a more active part of. I've been collecting stories of the history of this area for years. We've had the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians Cultural Committee out and they told me that our farm is of "Historical and Cultural Significance" to their people. I know several tribal council members, and elders and they know that we are determined to protect this farm from development. They know me quite well.
I loved your story imapigeon. I had to laugh. Once DH was preparing a site for a load of bees on a Ranch, and found a mano (hand held grinding stone). He didn't even get out of the truck to pick it up, just opened the door and grabbed it. I'm glad that you kept the scaper, imapigeon. I've found one, and yes it is quite an exciting event! More importantly it is a touchstone for you of a very Memorable time that you spent with your Grandfather. Priceless!
Which reminded me of my Dad's arrowhead collection. His was quite impressive I guess. I never got to see it because, in a fit of anger, Dad's sister, pitched it down the well. When I asked YB#2 why they didn't go down the well and fetch them out, he declared, "Too many rattlesnakes!" I guess the rattlesnakes are the guardians now, of Dad's arrowhead collection.
We love to look for arrowheads here, and have found a bunch of really neat stuff. Most of which you can't move. LOL! Way too big. The best time to look is after it rains when the sun comes out. The attached photo is of our farm from close to the old Indian village site (which is on neighbors property, rats! They bulldozed it!).
Yep, I'm truly blessed to live in such a wonderful place, and we don't mind visitors. After all, we are only caretakers for future generations.
Walk In Beauty!
