Several decades ago, I went hiking on Mount Tamalpais with the mother of a good friend. She handed me a burlap bagreason unknownand off we went. I soon found out why she wanted me to carry a bag.
I was lucky enough to buy a small Napa house in 2008. Trees, shrubs, and a lawn dominated the large backyard. Mowing the lawn took a long time due to the rocky terrain and poor shape of the lawn. Not what I wanted to do on a Saturday. Then there was the weeding and watering.
The Napa County Master Gardeners hosted a Fall Faire last month. The event turned out to be very successful even though Mother Nature paid a visit and gave us a downpour.
When I moved to a house on Napa's Dry Creek Road in 2009, I found myself living in the middle of a meadow surrounded by forest. The house looked bare sitting there in a grassy field. I wanted to add some color and make it look more inviting.
My neighborhood is the kind of place where you can put almost anything out on the sidewalk with a FREE label attached, and it will be gonea cast-iron frying pan, bicycle parts, a sofa, books, a box of Meyer lemons.
