Ramona is gorgeous and the mountains are part of the same chain as the foothills. I love that part of California, you can grow anything there as long as you can get water.
Your dog looks like a good one, at first glance, so sweet, at second glance, she appears to be one that you could rely on.
She is very loyal and protective, she's a terrier mixed breed. Right now she's a pistol! She's still only just a year old so she acts like a puppy a lot of the time. In time I hope she settles down, but she's a blast for us to have because she's such a nut! I hope when she's in the country she gets more exercise, it's really not good for her to be in the house so much right now. She's a fun dog.
I know what you mean about old dogs, they are so sweet to have. My dog Waggs died last year after 15 years of living with us. What a good dog she was. We needed another dog after she passed, so now we have this one.
Ramona was during my garden club days, it was great.
Laugh, as that sounds so haughty, and it was not, we had regular Ladies/Gents meetings, but the ones that stick in my mind were the days we went to someones garden, made cuttings, potted plants, etc to sell for raising money to send seeds and garden tools all over the world.
And every year, we made fantastic wreaths for shut ins and the military hospitals....worked on them all year in Nelson Brown’s barn, LOL, complete with a wood stove in the winter.
We drilled the nuts and seed pods, sprayed? or did we dip them in something, as I remember them being shiny and made our bows....and wreath frames.
Men were welcome, husbands came to help us and we did a hundred wreaths or so every year.
My kids thought that I had a crystal ball, as I always knew if they had done something after school.
Nelson was retired, he would sit on his front porch and watch the kids, and if they got out of line, took chances or did not go straight home, he would call the parents, so we would know.
When I left there in 1967, it was a town of 5,000. Now it is a city and I never went to see the new city.
We had a charming home on 3 acres, near Third and H streets, it was built on a knoll, with lovely trees and gardens, which of course I added to.
