I met Dr. Bill Morris several years ago at a neighborhood gathering. He briefly shared about his work as a palliative care doctor-an area of medicine I knew nothing about. However, it wasn't until my mom was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and eventually sent home to die, that I became interested in learning more about end of life care. As a result of this experience, I decided to interview Dr. Morris. He begins his story:

For many years, Aunt LaLi’s Mobile Café has been an integral part of Arcangeli’s birthday parties.  While a cog was recently thrown into the party wheel, the family knew they simply they could not break from tradition for Bobby’s thirteenth birthday this year.  Drive by birthday’s are becoming the new norm, so it was quickly decided for Aunt LaLi to head the parade and provide socially distanced ice cream to all of the participants.  The party was a “so heartwarming and a big success,” and the Press Banner wishes Bobby a very happy birthday!

Can it be? Already I’m seeing my dogwood and crape myrtle showing signs of fall color. Pictures on Instagram and Facebook from other gardeners show early color on sumac and lilac. I know fall is in the air when the pink amaryllis belladonna bloom and I’m ready.

Mornings are easier for hundreds of parents and their school-age children in Boulder Creek.
