Fall has arrived with a burst of rust and gold colors and rain showers. I love the smell in the air when it rains and how my garden perks up. I do regret that I can’t hang laundry outside for a while. It seems like I was just enjoying the 4th of July Parade and here we are with plans of Trick or Treaters, hints of upcoming Holiday Events, a chill in the air and a dash to grab a sweatshirt before running out the door.

I was chatting with a friend the other day about how much we love living in the Cloverdale area and that it is such a secret little gem in Sonoma County. Our community consists of people who have been here for generations and those who have made a conscious choice to move here and make this their home. What we have here is so very special and should ever be taken for granted. Ours is a unique community and a reflection of the hard-working business owners, volunteers, non-profit organizations and public servants who create a wonderful environment.

I’ll see you around town!
