Meryl has been taking taiko drumming lessons at school. And we happen to also have a book about a girl who plays a taiko drum and wears a hachi maki, which is a traditional Japanese cloth headband…which Meryl of course wanted to make:) Thank you, Lola!

Our neighbor set up a holiday scene and brought in a photographer, and we were lucky to join in the fun!

We’ll see what the photographer has for us soon!

There he goes! Off to his second ‘adult’ (AKA old people) skateboarding class. He’s doing it!

Here lies the largest pumpkin in California! It supposedly grew 30-40 lbs a day, which I kind of believe but am also happy to spout it out as a fact:)

And Meyer lemons and Makrut limes! The luxury!

Let the educational tours begin! We went to see the historic Bale Grist Mill, a stream powered stone mill from the days of yore…still milling! After all these years passing the sign, we finally turned in:)

Live music Saturdays at Lawer Estates!
