Went down to the South Pasadena nature park today to spread a little mulch & discovered a group of volunteers hard at work cleaning up litter & garbage. They helped me spread some mulch & do a little pruning. Did my heart good! Also saw a mom & child admiring the little pumpkin patch (last picture). If you are feeling a bit off visit the nature park. It will help! (100 block of Pasadena Ave, South Pasadena)

Times are tough in California but I do love LA.
