                                        No! Your a wild Animal         Did some one say Safari?  Take going on a Safari to the next level with this one of a kind adventure nestled in Sonoma County's own back yard.  Safari West is a 400-acre private wildlife preserve located 12 miles north of Santa Rosa.  Carving out a small piece of Africa for nature lovers to enjoy it has been dubbed, "The Sonoma Serengeti". haha.   On any given day your adventure may have you run across rhinoceros, giraffes, cheetahs, zebras and hyenas. I wonder if hyenas really laugh out loud?        Our Mission The mission of Safari West is to actively promote conservation and environmental education, while sharing knowledge that empowers each individual to think sustainably about their role in the environment and the world ...

           2021 Farmers Market Spring Renewal      According to Wikipedia, " Starting in the mid-2000's, consumer demand for foods that are fresher (spend less time in transit) and for foods with more variety -- has led to the growth of farmers' markets as a food-retailing mechanism".  Sonoma County boasts over 20 different farmers markets in the area and the one thing that they all have in common is that all the vendors are required to produce their own fresh product.  Now living in Sonoma County we are blessed with such a bountiful variety of agricultural wealth where do I even began pointing my finger in a direction to try and start to dissect what Sonoma County has to offer.  I, myself, (if I have to be honest) have very little insight and experience in the arena of Sonoma County farmers markets, but as I journey through events and happenings in Sonoma County, the farmers markets are an absolute worth mention.  Maybe s...

                                        Good Grief Charlie Brown                                                     "I think every week should have one day in it when boys give presents to girls" - Lucy van Pelt.  You can't help but love (or hate 😛) Lucy from the Peanuts cartoon and comic strip.  Whether she's pulling the football away from Charlie Brown at the last moment before he kicks it, or she's doling out psychiatric advice for a $.05, Lucy has made a lasting impression on most of us growing up. (Hey wait...was she the reason I went to school for psychology??? 😏 he he). Lucy known for her tormenting, teasing, mocking, and intimidation of the other children (especially Charlie Brown), is generally the antagonist in a major...

                                                                       So what gives?     What's the big idea?  So the idea I had for this blog, was to throw out different events and adventures each week that people could enjoy in and around Sonoma County. Will this work? Absolutely! 😉  At the very least, at the end of all this I will be better equipped with more knowledge of Sonoma County to take my own level of shenanigan's up a notch. He he.  And at the most, and what I hope for, is that a few of these events and adventures find there way home and into the hearts of the people that seek them. And while were throwing out a wish list, another hope of mine is to form a sense of community or fellowship with all of you, as we explore this area of Sonoma County which ...
