We have a really great Farmer’s Market in Redding<
These local strawberries just explode with flavor, they are totally red all the way through.
All the food is organic.
Breakfast for 10,000
We attend the Annual Pancake breakfast in Roaring Gulch (Redding) 2008
I don’t know of any other town that does this. Really fun!
We ate our pancakes while sitting across from Shasta Voice’s Mary Machado and her husband. Really interesting conversation from these civic movers and shakers.
It was a really hot day, but we dressed western, minus the hats.
Turkey day, Redding style
No, I’m not talking about Thanksgiving here. This is about real turkeys who wander the streets where I live in suburban north Redding. Seeing them walk by in a small flock, it’s easy to equate modern birds with prehistoric dinosaurs, as the theory goes. Tyranosaur-Turkey, who knows how closely related they are? We have a lot of human walkers where I live. It’s a nice area to get a little exercise by walking around, but lately some folks have been known to carry a stick. It seems the turkeys wandering about can be aggressive. Turkey-Velociraptor perhaps. One of my neighbors drives a little Honda car, and she said a big Tom chased her car one day. Hmmm, they do seem to have a tough old bird look…..
Seen above, a gang, er, flock of menacing omnivores.
