Focus on the beautiful in a world that not always is.  A storm is making its way up the Sea of Cortez and will be the balm that calms the raging flames of LA.  

A lovely book NOVEMBER GRASS eloquently portrays the east county of San Diego after a long summer and rainless skies.  A young girl herds her cattle further afield along the dusty roads and Oaks.  She knows them all by name and although she is grown she cannot imagine ever leaving.  Not for love of a man as love for stones and trees and familiar paths could ever be left behind until she finds that it can.
