Greens Park start

After a decade of delay, the Greens Park project got its official kickoff Monday morning just off Jigger Court on the South. Representatives of the Rancho Murieta Association and Community Services District were on hand. (Representatives of the North developers were invited too.) Cutting the ribbon are, from left, Mark Pecotich, the CSD board president, and Bob Lucas, the RMA board president. In the background, from left, are Darlene Thiel, CSD general manager; Morrison Graf, CSD director; Larry Shelton, RMA director; Alex Bauer, RMA director; Danise Hetland, RMA assistant general manager, and Greg Vorster, RMA general manager. Even before the ribbon was cut, a work crew was running equipment over the three-acre park site, surrounded by 18 acres of wetlands that won't be touched. The park will have play equipment and Frisbee golf, and completion is expected this summer. (Click photo for larger image) Read more » about After decade-long wait, park is happening

Robins

Neighbor Billye Ericksen shares the photos and story: "The pictures are from the first robin's nest in the rafters of my home. For the longest time I was sure there were three baby robins and then saw that there were four! They all did well under the fantastic parenting of those two hard workers and all flew away over a period of two days. I started taking photos on 5/14 and finished the shoot on 5/27. And now there is another set of robins who have made a nest at the other end of my deck and they have picked the hottest time for nesting. Still no sign of the new babies. However, I set out a tray of water to offer some relief. I will keep you all posted. Last year there were two sets of robins who nested in the same places and when they started 'sizing up the place' from the safety of the back yard weeks ago, I realized that this is their home and I am so lucky to be second-time grandma to the robins."

Walk-in freezer sign

The Delta breeze made a tentative and welcome return Friday, but no need: Murieta Market is offering five minutes in the walk-in freezer with any purchase! They might have been kidding, but we won’t be when we buy a bag of ice and go all Murieta lawyer on them. At lunchtime, the National Weather Service said Executive Airport was 11 degrees cooler than Thursday, but by mid-afternoon, it was triple digits out and we were heading to Murieta Market. Saturday’s forecast high: 98. Sunday’s: 93. Monday’s: 87. Read more » about Just be careful about freezer burn
