A garden has many purposes. It's a place to grow delicious tomatoes and mouthwatering fruit picked ripe off the tree. It's a place to read your favorite book on a comfy chair in the shade. It's a place to watch birds and butterflies when they visit the flowers you've planted just for them. It's a place to go when you need to get away from all the hustle and bustle of daily life. And it's a place of healing.

Boy, are we spoiled, living here as we do.

The ocean has been calm and has warmed up, showing signs of summer. The swells have been flat and the ocean has turned clear along the shore. Rockfish enjoy the warmer temperatures and ideal conditions.
