We send out Rainbows-of-Sapphires-and-Asters to Cheryl Davies and Sherry Hague who celebrate their special days this week. Happy birthday, Sherry and Cheryl!Darlene’s Commentary: In our park we have playground equipment, picnic tables, barbecues, a gazebo, a baseball diamond, palms and big shade trees. Many people have worked to make our park useful by maintaining our welcome shade trees. Now these trees are going downhill fast because of issues with the watering system and the well. Athol trees are hardy, but they can’t go forever without proper watering. Please, San Bernardino County, don’t let our beautiful shade trees die!
