Tall & Statuesque? Broad & Muscular? Buy both Sunday!

Submitted By: ketzel.levine@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Come Sunday, when the doors open to shop for manzanitas at the Hoffman Center’s Manzanita Plant Sale (11AM!) , a little knowledge will go a long, long way.

Tall & statuesque? Broad & muscular? Big, medium, or groundcover? Let size and shape be your guide.

We’ll be selling a fantastic assortment of manzanitas, THIRTEEN different kinds. Insane! You’ll want to be sure from the get you’ve got the right plant in the right place ’cause these kids don’t like to be moved around.

Got a shady garden? Don’t buy a manzanita. Got overhead irrigation? Ditto. Soil super rich with amendments? Nope. Not gotta thrive.

But if you’ve got at least 6 hrs of sun in fast-draining soil without irrigation or fertilizer, manzanitas are your kind of plants.

Tomorrow on the BBQ: Meet A Few Manzanitas!

Fictional Soap Opera – The Tides of Manzanita

Submitted By: Wstone1991@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Episode 8 – The Break-In -Part One

In the heart of Manzanita, under a cloak of darkness pierced only by the occasional flicker of a street light, the tension mounts in “The Tides of Manzanita.” This suspenseful episode follows the daring nocturnal venture of the three allied women—Victoria, Ruby, and Shirley—as they embark on a mission to unearth the investigative report buried deep within the bowels of City Hall.

The night is eerily quiet, the silence a stark contrast to the storm of emotions swirling within our protagonists. Victoria, the embodiment of vigilance, takes her position outside the cottage-like facade of City Hall, her cell phone clutched tightly in her hand, ready to signal any hint of danger. Inside, Ruby and Shirley, armed with nothing but their courage, a small handheld light, and thumb drives, navigate the labyrinthine corridors of power, their every step a whisper against the polished floors.

“Are you sure it’s here? Are you sure of the password?” Ruby’s voice barely rises above a murmur, her words a mist in the cold air.

Shirley, with a determination forged from months of silent dissent, moves with a purpose toward the city manager’s computer. “Yes,” she whispers back, her fingers finding the piece of paper taped beneath the desk— the key to unlocking the password to their quest. “I’ve seen the manager access it a hundred times.” Under the tape was scrawled the computer password – Powerful1. “It figures,” said Shirley, “No lack of ego in this office.”

The tension crescendos as Shirley’s fingers dance across the keyboard, the glow of the screen casting shadows that dance like specters across the walls. “There it is,” she breathes, a mixture of triumph and disbelief coloring her voice as she opens the file marked “My Eyes Only.” The room is filled with the soft clicking of the thumb drive, a modern-day Excalibur, as it captures the report—a testament to their fight for justice.

“Hurry, I’m as nervous as a cat,” Ruby hisses, her eyes darting toward the door, her instincts on a razor’s edge.

In that heart-stopping moment, the door flew open, and the lights blaze to life, banishing the shadows and exposing the intruders to the harsh glare of retribution. “What’s going on?” The booming voice, authoritative and incredulous, cuts through the silence like a knife. Ruby had heard the voice before at The Cove.

Shirley and Ruby, caught in the act, turn toward the intrusion, their faces a canvas of shock and fear. Shirley’s involuntary yelp pierces the tension, a solitary note of vulnerability in the crescendo of their mission.

And then, the reveal that leaves the audience gasping for breath—Victoria, their lookout, their guide, ensnared by two shadowy figures whose identities remain shrouded in mystery. The sight of her, held captive, her arm gripped tightly, is a tableau of unexpected twists.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger, the fate of our heroines hanging in the balance, their mission, their bravery, and their very freedom caught in the web of Manzanita’s dark underbelly. Shirley and Ruby, their expressions a mix of fear and determination, stand frozen, their mouths agape, as they face the unknown adversaries who have turned their quest for truth into a nightmare.

What will happen next in this high-stakes game of power and revelation? “The Break-In” leaves viewers on the edge of their seats, their hearts in their throats, eagerly awaiting the resolution of this pivotal moment in “The Tides of Manzanita.” Tune in to next week’s episode, The Break-In Part Two, to discover the fate of Victoria, Ruby, and Shirley in the gripping continuation of their quest for justice.

Sculptural Weaving with Bark at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita!!

Submitted By: visualarts@hoffmanarts.org – Click to email about this post
On May 5, 2024, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, join May Gallery artist Rose Covert, in a sculptural weaving class. Participants will use beginning basketry techniques including plaiting and twining to start their weave and then will explore using random weave to create a small woven form. Random weave is a freeform weaving style that allows for creative freedom resulting in a unique and interesting design.

Using hand-harvested and locally grown barks to weave into the basketry reed, this workshop will focus on the fundamentals of natural materials and mixed media fiber sculpture. We will learn about the harvesting and processing of the plants so that students will leave with information about gathering what grows near them to use in future projects.

This class is appropriate for all skill levels, no prior weaving experience is necessary. This class is also great for those who have experience with weaving and are looking to increase their weaving vocabulary.

Participants will leave with a woven sculpture that will be unique in size, shape and composition.

Tuition is $145 and includes all materials. Full or partial scholarships are available!

I’m currently going through a legal battle with my “landlord ” who is a “disabled veteran “
He pulled a loaded firearm on me charged the gun and aimed it at my torso, did the cops take him to jail?
Of course not he’s a disabled veteran.

A little about me , I’m a military brat ” rugrat”
My dad, brothers , sisters aunts uncles , grandparents all served, so i say this with a heavy confused heart.
I’m sorry that you chose a career that you knew would cause you trauma, that doesn’t give you the right to treat people like shit, everybody goes through trauma , you are not special .
It is ultimately up to you to heal, nobody else
