The cycling distances are 50 miles, 25 miles and 15 miles of beautiful roads and hills. The roads are surrounded by vineyards. Today is gorgeous, sunny, clear day.

the need for rain and snow

A walk in Kennedy Park along Napa River. Sunny and unusually warm (70+) for winter.

 

 Drought looms. We need rain in the valley and snow in the mountains.

the town flooded

a bridge carried to the sea

“too much for one life”

a long child’s story.
