I am hoping the farm bill will help save some farms of today. We need them. I love the labels and graphics for the Orange Grove.eileeninmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070309645796725309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206460070533660576.post-86075136220837042602012-12-31T04:43:00.848-08:002012-12-31T04:43:00.848-08:00Nothing ever stays the same.

I hate to be one of those who "like it was in the good old days" , those times had their own unique set of problems.<br /><br />I do like the artwork though. Not only is it descriptive of the life back then, but many of the idyllic allow you a measure of escape from the present. Even if it's a bit imaginary.Chaparral Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618976919417073750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206460070533660576.post-8722165860877325912012-12-30T07:30:45.248-08:002012-12-30T07:30:45.248-08:00Those are great labels and graphics!

Though I was only a short-timer San Diegan, one of my fondest memories was driving from where co-workers and I lived in Rancho Bernardo, up through the citrus groves (mostly oranges) between there, the Wild Animal Park, and Ramona. Those were all unfenced when I moved in 1991, but all fenced in with security measures by 1997.<br /><br />I wonder if you return to that area, if it would be sadder with so much changed and gone, than when you left? I hear the same about Florida, and I'm witnessing it here for some different reasons, where few get where they are or care.David C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16897398037657414471noreply@blogger.com
