Around San Ramon -Early Spring

I recently walked over to Forest Home Farms Historic Park and strolled around the picturesque grounds to exercise my Nikon a bit. It's early spring and the ornamental trees are already flowering. The hills are finally transforming from their golden hues to shades of emerald green. It's been very dry here lately and the sun has been making a daily appearance. Hopefully we'll get a bit more rain before the dry days of summer.

Forest Home Farms is a historical park. It's not open on a daily basis, but it does have special event days. In any case, it's a very pleasant spot for getting back in touch with San Ramon's pioneer past.

Here's the Boone Family 16 acre farm...











This footbridge takes you over to the Victorian style home
and museum known as the Glass House...
















Come by for a visit some day. You'll enjoy it!

Farmers Market - San Ramon

It's that time of year again...San Ramon's very own farmers market is back in full swing. It's open every Saturday morning from May through October on the picturesque grounds of Forest Home Farms. You can find fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade crafts, organic munchies, live music, well-behaved sheep, and lots of yummy foods cooked right there on the premises. Take a look at my photos from last Saturday, but if you're ever in the neighborhood on a Saturday morning, stop on by and stroll around among the various venders...


















Is there a farmers market in your community?

It feels like spring is almost here...
