Shamrocks for MDA

This letter from Halie Frahm was posted at the cashier's station at Lowe's this morning. "Since 2001, Lowe’s has been one of the largest supporters of MDA’s Shamrocks Against Dystrophy campaign. Lowe’s Associates know firsthand the power of a simple paper Shamrock." You can stop by Lowe's and drop your donation into their collection jugs!

Cedar Waxwings Sighted..

This flock of about 20 Cedar Waxwings stopped in our backyard for a visit last week. Thanks to my friend Carolyn for identifying them for me...this is the first time I've seen them stop by. My long lens was still not great for catching them in detail...so I know what I want for my birthday ya'll....

Arteaga's Bounty!

We always enjoy shopping for fresh produce at Arteaga's Market at 940 Sacramento Avenue. Artega's Market is family owned and operated, specializes in Hispanic Foods and has been serving the Sacramento Area for the past 8 years. How many of you remember shopping that location when it was a Raley's Market?
