Mr. T took me for a drive out through the vineyards and some of the back roads in the Valley of the Moon. The beauty takes one's breath away. All the vines are tied up so neatly to their stakes,
the mustard flowers are neon yellow and the quaintness of the valley houses and gardens just scream "take my picture!" I will post some of the pictures I took from our drive but first I need to let you in on the crime watch from the little town of Kenwood--our neighboring village. This police report is from March 1st when "deputies responded to a trespass report at 8:30 am. There they found a 52 year old woman hugging a back hoe to stop what she considered improper or illegal grading for a new home next to her residence. She was warned that if she continued, she'd be arrested. An hour later, deputies were called back, found the woman hugging a bulldozer, and hauled her off to county jail, where she was booked for misdemeanor trespass. The neighbor told police he had all the necessary county permits to do his grading."
Is this really about permits or is it about ruining someone's view? Did this backhoe hugger/bulldozer hugger start off as a tree hugger? Will the natives start hugging SUVs next?
