Wild California Poppies Blanket The Hills

The sun is out and wild flowers are blanketing the hills as a result of all the recent rains.

Here are purple Lupine and California Poppies on the hills overlooking the Kaweah River with the snow capped mountains on the horizon.

This is just the start of a beautiful spring season where a profusion of wild flowers will take your breath away.

Winter Wonderland in Three Rivers

Winter is a beautiful time to visit Three Rivers.

We have had more than 18 inches of rain so far this winter in Three Rivers and a total of 134 inches of snow in Sequoia National Park. We are rejoicing at our bounty.

The rivers are running strong, green grasses blanket the hills, chartreuse moss covers the rocks and the High Sierra towers a pristine white above Three Rivers. My husband and I hike local mountain trails every morning and we are just now beginning to see a few wild flowers. We have seen Lupine, Fiddleneck and a couple of California Poppies. With the good rainfall we are experiencing, we should have an abundance of wildflowers blanketing the hills once we get a bit of sunshine and warm weather. I will be posting pictures as they become available.

This is a great time to play in the snow and experience our winter wonderland.

You can rent snowshoes or cross country skies in the Park, or enjoy a delicious dinner at the Wuksachi Lodge.

SINGLE AND LOOKING- FOR A HOME

Studies show that women are more financially and socially independent than ever before, and that more than half of all adult women live without a partner. And for more and more of these single women, it's house before spouse. According to NAR's 2007 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, relased in November at the annual Realtors Conference and Expo, one-fourth of all recent home buyers were single women. Single women also represent 20 percent of all home buyers. In contrast, the percentage of single men buying homes is decreasing. With more choices for investing and saving, many women are choosing homeownership as a way of building wealth over the long term.

AROUND TOWN

Special Christmas decorations add charm to the holiday season in Three Rivers. Here Pat O'Connel, our local tow service operator, decorates his antique tow truck with lights and a santa at the wheel.
A giant star shines above Three Rivers each year at the Southern California Edison flume drop station. This year we caught the moon rising over the star - what a Christmas treat. Our neighbors on Kaweah River Drive had their oak trees dancing in the moonlight for another beautiful sight.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Christmas Caroling in Three Rivers

Sipping hot coffee, making smores, indulging in homemade cookies, visiting with neighbors and singing Christmas carols were highlights of this event. Townspeople gathered at the Merchantile to enjoy the festive community event and Santa even arrived on a firetruck!

Where in the World Would You Ever Find a Place Like This?

WINTER IN THE SIERRA'S- COME VISIT!

A blanket of snow covers the High Sierra above Three Rivers. Here are Giant Sequoias at the Natural History Museum up in the Park.

It is breathtaking to drive through the Park and experience this pristine winter wonderland. It is so quiet you can hear the snow melt.

The sky is blue, the Giant Sequoias are a unique auburn color and chartreuse moss adds a vibrant green to the landscape. These colors against the white snow is beautiful. If you have not been to Sequoia National Park, you should check out this national treasure.

You will need chains to drive up into the park in the winter. Chains can be rented at the Chevron Station in Three Rivers.

Three Rivers is located in the foothills of Sequoia National Park and offers a beautiful view of Moro Rock and Alta Peak in the High Sierra's.

Come see for yourself!
