s, our son's 4 mini long horns, 3 cats, 4 dogs ... didn't get here in time for a garden this year but he is alreay planning his veggie garden for next year ... I have to admit I am enjoying the quiteness here & how beautiful the area is ... was like driving into a park when we got to our new home ... a bit concerned about the winter weather, but we had snow & cold weather in Yreka & I survived ... so I'm sure I will adjust here just as I did when we left Ventura .... :)
