It’s Only November and The Creek is Rising

At the far end of the Acre we have a small valley that slopes westward towards a creek that empties into the San Luis Rey River a couple of miles away.

Normally, the valley is dry, lined with coastal live oaks and a favorite hangout for the chickens. During the rainy season in winter the valley can turn into a small creek — though this happens infrequently, and usually toward the end of the winter in El Niño years.

Sage Osterfeld
I’m just a guy with nearly an acre of dirt, a nice little mid-century ranch house and a near-perfect climate. But in my mind I’m a landscaper survivalist craftsman chef naturalist with a barbeque the size of a VW and my own cable TV show. I like to write about the stuff I build, grow and see here at Sage's Acre.
