Brandon's in the News.
Newspaper clippings from Dragerton, Utah. They are from the late 40's, to the late 50's.
Quite a lot of interesting stories. These clippings were all found on Newspapers.com. I can access it from home (for free!) with my library card.

California Native Plant - Garden Tour
This was a tour of many homes in and around the Poway, California area. We did not make it to all of the homes. But the Docents and home owners were all really nice and we learned a lot about
how and why to re-do the common green grass landscaping.
The home that the photos show the interior was just really cool. They had turned a swimming pool into a pond that had three kinds of fish living in it. Beautiful property that shows how nice the California native plants can be.

Storm Approaching
Storm Clouds moving in. View from Oceanside Pier. 10 minutes later, as I was walking away a huge rainbow formed (minus the top). It was really windy and started to rain.
