Gardens In The Hills (Temecula West Hills / De Luz)

I drove for 4 hours today, showed houses and avocado groves in De Luz Hills.
This is my rewards for the day LOL. A Squash, Asian Cucumbers, Plums, Nectarines, Avocados, Apples, all from Buena Loma Gardens. They have Oranges and Tangerines too. Charlie the owner gave me a small Cherimoya tree for free (The grapes are from neighbor's vines). Elvie, Charlie's wife shared half a cut of Asian Cucumber with us and it was delicious and fresh. She only gave us 1/2 because she ate the other HALF LOL.. <3 span="">

California State Of Drought Emergency.

In California's drought emergency, Gov. Brown declares the obvious....

Nevermind this now Emergency  Drought has turned Central Valley into a dust bowl for the last 6 years+.  A steadily groing population also created a situation that contributed to shrinking agricultural land. Environmental issue also added to the woes.

According to Reason.com  "In 2007, federal judge Oliver Wanger imposed limits on the amount of water pumped from the San Joachin-Sacramento River delta to farms in California's Central Valley in order to protect a two-inch endangered fish called the Delta Smelt. As a result, several hundred thousand acres of farmland on the west side of the Central Valley now lie fallow, and many thousands of jobs have been lost. In the city of Mendota, for example, the unemployment rate exceeds 40%. If the bill passes, Obama says he'll veto it."

Back To Country Blogging

I have not been here for a while, actually over a year. I went to Thailand in October 2012 for my father's funeral. Since the beginning of 2013, this year had been passing by even faster than usual. I spent more time in Thailand and mostly to be with my mother and helped her with moving back into her own home.

My mother's home:

I will write more for this blog as it is very personal for me as I am living in the country since 2001. As a matter of face, since I moved from Silicon Valley down to Temecula Wine Country. This blog is a continuation from my other articles I wrote on Boomers International web site which is still up and running as linked to here:
http://boomersint.org/country.htm
http://boomersint.org/country2.htm
http://boomersint.org/country3.htm

So I hope you will be back reading this blog again.
Peace & Love,

Environmentalists, cattlemen establish wildlife corridor

A new land ethic is taking root on 31,900 acres north of Los Angeles managed by an alliance of environmentalists and cattlemen who want to preserve ranching as a way of life while also protecting mountain lion, black bear, golden eagles and other wildlife.
