New foal in Etna
Posted in Etna, Seasons & photos on July 15, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Bill and Vickie Krueger entertain Etna folks and drivers on State Rt. 3 by raising Appaloosa horses on the north and south sides of the highway on the edge of town. Just last week, Vickie was telling me about their beautiful new born foal. They suspect the foal will have a beautiful patch of spots [...]

Pulled into the parking lot at the Etna Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints the morning of July 4th and here were two bucks about to rest themselves in the shade of the trees. I grabbed my camera from my purse and drove a little closer. Neither cared that I turned them into models. [...]

Guess I don’t have enough to do trying to post on this blog every few days and keep up two others for the local rodeos that we have and our Water Rights problems. Those two blogs are: etnarodeo.com — even though the rodeos are organized, hosted and sponsored by the Scott Valley Pleasure Park. The [...]

Etna, California on Memorial Day

It was reported to me by Jess Bigham that well-over 100 people attended the American Legion Perry Harris #260 ceremonies at the Etna Cemetery on May 31, 2010 at 11 a.m. Looks like folks are realizing we need to appreciate those who have served our country, as well as recall memories of other loved ones [...]
Banana tree at Siskiyou Telephone
Posted in Etna, Over my garden gate on February 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »
It’s beginning to look like a jungle in the west side of the lobby at the Siskiyou Telephone Company located on Etna’s outskirts. Several years ago, Jerry Facey gave her banana tree to Siskiyou Telephone, because it was taking up too much space in her living room. Last summer, a bunch of 13 short, finger-sized [...]

Here are two shots of Etna Creek that I took on my way to church Sunday morning Jan. 10, 2010. You choose which looks the most bleak! There is one good thing — water is running in Etna Creek.

Just before the Nov. 7, 2009 Etna Veterans’ Parade began, Fire Chief Larry Hicks heard his alarm go off and quickly whizzed into the fire hall to exchange this older engine for a newer one. Luckily, it was a planned fire and the entire crew returned in time to participate in the parade. I gotta [...]
Vera Clement from Shasta Valley

We don’t tell Vera’s age, although she probably wouldn’t care, but let’s just say Vera ranches in Shasta Valley and has been riding in local parades for many years. Once again, Vera carried the American flag for the Back Country Horsemen, Top of the State chapter.
