Cazadero Communications by Natasha Pehrson - June 2019
After an extraordinary several days of heavy rainfall in mid-May, the sun is shining again on the majestic redwoods outside of my cozy cyber-hut! Almost 5" was recorded in my rain gauge! It is so green around here that I am reminded of both Ireland and Vermont.

Long-time Austin Creek resident Judith Heinemann writes with concern for the king snakes sunning themselves in the middle of the road! Please do be aware of them. She is also pointing out the rather wanton approach of PG&E regarding removal of 'problem' trees. Dead trees are one thing, live trees not posing an imminent threat to power lines should be left in place!
Celebrate Father's Day on June 16th by shopping and eating locally! Delicious California/New Orleans food at Cape Fear, pizza and music on Friday Nights at Raymond's Bakery, sweet and savory baked goods, tacos on the spacious back deck and great coffee at Gold Coast Cafe', The Blue Heron's fish and chips, along with Sunday live music are all enticing. Remember Cazadero Supply's 1st Saturday 15% Discount Day for household, garden and vehicular items to assist you with those ongoing projects. Visit Caz Central for unique locally-made art work. Both the Cazadero and Duncans Mills general stores have an abundance of daily groceries and locally-produced meats, wine and body care products, too.
