Maps were available to mo- torists at the Canyon Market, and signs along Silverado and Modjeska Canyons pointed the way to plein-air painters, sculp- tors, photographers, ceramicists and jewelry makers. Visitors were invited to drive from site to site, park in temporary spots provided by friendly neighbors or wide spots in the road, and take in the ambiance as long as they liked. Photographer Vivi Wyngaarden welcomed visitors to her outdoor art gallery, set up for the day. Julie Williams displayed her mixed media cre- ations.

Kat Tighe was named Most Spirited New Member, and Em- ily Woodford, Outstanding New Member.

This time of year yields all of nature's most magnificent colors and col- or combinations. And thanks to natural color, we have splashes of color in our fashion, home reno- vations, even our cars. But let me draw your attention to a specific range of colors, the roses. Roses, the Victoria’s Secret models of the plant world. Beau- tiful, sophisticated, classy and catty! Roses have always been known to provide spectacular dis- plays of color, were often kept by royalty, and have been known to be therapeutic. Roses are actually tiny fruit trees. The "fruit" is the rosehip, and they function much like the fruit trees we know and love. In the beginning of my career, I wasn't a fan of roses. Every time I brought a rose bush home, the flashy roses they displayed at the store disappeared like the money I spent on them, never to return. I was convinced they were a sham. This, however, is natural. Even in us humans, we can't always be "all go." We need our down time, our rest, our time to rebuild. Fast forward to last week, when I was hired to teach a private "rose training" class for some of my clients. We had just installed 30 new lavish roses for them, and I shared my tips and experience in regard to rose care. Like the high maintenance queens that they are, they require a lot of attention. And when that attention is pro- vided, they reward you with mes- merizing beauty and intoxicating scents. While my "me time" may look like a spa and massage, or a hike, hammock and a book, roses need their Epsom salt baths, fish bone meal, crushed potassium and coffee grounds. In the winter, when the holi- days are over and the new year is upon us, that's when we'll cut them back, restructure and pre- pare them for their winter vaca- tion. That way, when spring rolls around, they are recharged and ready to make you smile all over again. There's a saying, "stop and smell the roses." How about we take it a step further and live like the roses. Take the time you need to relax, regroup and recharge, and when you're ready, put on that show that everyone knows and loves. You are beautiful. Stop and smell the roses Serrano Water District General Manager Jerry Vilander looks over the progress on the new PFOS-filtering facility being built on the Ser- rano site by Orange County Water District.
