Spread the Sunshine!
Are you ready for Spring? I know I am. The daffodils are starting to bloom, and the trees have a hint of pink - just ready to explode to those shades of bright fuchsia and magenta. Time to get out in the yard and trim, clean-up and plant. When you get ready to plant remember to "Try Local First." Local nurseries provide quality flowers, trees, vegetable starts, and herbs. So, it is not just a price comparison - there is quality and vibrancy to consider. You can tell the difference and I have a "brown" thumb! Read more...

Hood, over rushing rivers, through sweeping panoramas of the fertile valley farmland, and along the route that early pioneers traveled on the historic Barlow Road.
