A core group of seniors on the Scotts Valley High School volleyball team have started the season with a 4-5 overall record, despite a recent 3-1 loss to visiting Mount Madonna on Tuesday night.

After finishing 14thin the state last fall, the Scotts Valley boys cross country team has high hopes and expectations for 2013.

The weather this winter has been fairly mild. Rainstorms since mid-January have kept the average low temperatures at night from dipping very low, and spring is right around the corner and on time.

Each time I'm in my garden it's a different experience. The familiar buzz of hummingbird wings brings a smile to my face. Sometimes it's the silence that gets my attention. Where are the chirping songbirds or the raucous scolding of the jays? Where is the wind, the rustling of the forest grass leaves? Other times the quaking of the redwood boughs a hundred feet up makes the garden come alive like giant wind chimes. Sound adds dimension to the garden.
