Soaring on a Sunday

From Spring 2012 at the Miller Farm

It's almost Spring and there's not only new life in the garden, but lots of farm babies arriving in this neck of San Diego. We got to visit 7 nubian kids this week at a friend in town's place. She also had lot of adorable baby chicks and an adorable little bunny. I had a lot of fun taking pictures there with the kids. Even got mine to pose for a couple that I'll be using for Easter cards this year.


It's been a rainy and cold weekend, and there's sure to be new snow in the local mountain towns like Julian, Laguna Mountain and Mount Palomar. So if you haven't gotten up to the snow yet this season, it's probably a good time to go now. Make sure you check the local reports to see if chains are needed.


Here's what else is going on this coming week and weekend. Enjoy the Spring and beautiful new blossoms that this weekend's rain is sure to bring about.
