The hummingbirds in my yard flit through the air with their wings fluttering at nearly 50 miles per hour as their tiny bodies hover above the flowers gathering the nectar that fuels their fast-paced lifestyle. There are so many hummingbirds that call California home, from Costa’s and Allen’s Hummingbirds to the gorgeous ruby throated hummingbird that many of us see on a daily basis. Many of them call my drought tolerant landscaped yard home and we love just sitting on the front porch to watch them. Due to the large num...

Quality schools improve property values and enhance the value of the community. Quality schools truly are a win/win for everyone, but especially fo... Full story

"I was kind of lost and I did...
