Napa Farmers Market

After a Friday driving and exploring the wine country, we arrived back at Napa looking for a little coffee refreshement. Instead we found the Farmers Market in full swing. This was unlike in every way the Farmers Market in Fullerton we were used to visiting every Thursday. There were 2 bands, one at each end of the market. One playing old time classic rock faves, and the other ripping up some fine rockabilly surf twang variety. Also, there were several vendors offering beer and local wine, by the pint and glass, respectively. At first look Napa is a sleepy little town at the foot of the NoCal wine country, but upon further inspection it seems it has a large healthy local community. Everybody and his mother appeared to be out for the beautiful, warm summer evening.

DIY How To: Vanishing Fountain

Greetings. And welcome to another Just Do It DIY project. In this video I’m going to show you how I created this really cool vanishing fountain. Water features are always a great addition to your landscaping; and a vanishing fountain like this is stylish, compact and ultimately really pleasing to listen to. In the video I'll cover the following steps: 1. Assess & Design 2. Materials & Tools 3. Digging the  Reservoir 4. Building the  Reservoir  Form 5. Lining the  Reservoir 6. Installing the Aquablox 7.

We chose a large concrete planter from a landscape supply store to use as our fountain, and to use an  Aquablox  so we could hide ...

Semanal08 : Week13 - Fun With Water & Leaves

Click to Play On a chill but pleasent spring morning, our little Sprite finds many an amusement in the back garden wonderland of fallen leaves, puddles, dirt and all manner of things to get himself filthy dirty and soaking wet. Oh well, boys will be boys. Anyhow, it keeps him busy and occupied for a time. Even if it means we have to rake up the leaves again after the G-Express ploughed through them for the umpteenth time.

Second Trimester Awards : The Sprite A winner

Today was the Kindergarten Awards Day for the second trimester and our little over-achiever took home not one, but two awards certificates. The Sprite shows off his awards One was for Excellence In Writing and the other was for a Perfect Attendance Record. The first comes as no surprize really, he has been coming along leaps and bounds with reading and writing lately. The second is astounding, compared to recent history. To not miss a single day of school through the winter months, to either sickness or laziness on the part of his parent (IE; me) is an award-worthy achievement indeed. Well done son.
