OK, so get on your warm winter gear and come take a walk with me, ’cause I’m about to show you what winter at my house looks like. When I woke up yesterday morning I couldn’t wait to slip on my winter boots, and my heaviest jacket, and my warmest woolen mittens in order to take […]
Hello and welcome to Sundays With Celia Vol 76. I hope you are managing to stay warm in this very cold country of ours. We are experiencing another cold & very wet streak here in what is normally warm, dry SoCal, so I’m not complaining. Here’s what my back terrace looked and sounded like on […]

The term “March Miracle” was coined here on our mountaintop to define what often seems to occur in our weather cycle. After a period of drought, heavy rain or snow will […]
Greetings and welcome to Sundays With Celia Vol 28. I’m so glad you joined me today!

Hello there and thanks very much for visiting Sundays With Celia Vol 27. This post is going out much later than normal today because, well, life and giant snow storms, and power outages, etc. have seemed to get in my way.

I’m back! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sorry for the radio silence since before Christmas. As you may know, Brad and I took a cruise to Central America just before the holidays, returning just in time to welcome our entire family to Lake Arrowhead for a giant, week-long house party. However, I got the stomach flu on […]
Hello there. Back in January I wrote a blog post entitled “A Beautiful Winter Wonderland” in which I stated that El Niño had kept his promise and brought snow to Lake Arrowhead. Well, as it turns out, we have had a somewhat disappointing winter here in SoCal as we haven’t gotten any more significant snow […]
After Orange County is a publication dedicated to living life in the slow lane. I escaped The OC for life at a higher elevation. Leaving suburbia behind, I now live in the beautiful mountain resort of Lake Arrowhead. Join me at 5,000 feet above and beyond as I cook, garden, renovate, entertain, travel and live life After Orange County.
