It's definitely snake season in Ventura County, just heard one on the scanner (and ran across one the other day in the back... striped racer. Nicknamed "Mr. Snakee" back in the day by the kids, or one of its parents.). (Edit: make that TWO calls for snakes in the last 5 min) #snakes#VenturaCounty
TO Acorn: A place to play
Partners plan to create food truck, entertainment park for families... "Adjacent to the southbound Westlake Boulevard on-ramp to the 101 Freeway, the longtime friends intend to open The Drop Yard, a food truck court with a bar, a stage, picnic tables and games.

Interesting, plan to make it easier for bicyclists and pedestrians to access area in our town. I'm curious how many folks are "thinking outside the box" vs. just sidewalks. 🤔 #BikeTooter#ThousandOaks#VenturaCounty

Planted 14 new grapevines in the backyard. Do I need that many? Probably not. Will all of them survive? Probably not. But, what the heck. Still need to find room for a few other varieties. #grapes#gardening
If you are in the #ConejoValley#VenturaCounty -- happy to barter some of these, I have a lot of extra plants. (these were all free cuttings from someone's house in Westlake Village, healthy, which I rooted).
