Nurturing a community is much like nurturing a garden. The relationships are mutually beneficial. Sometimes the garden gives to you. Sometimes you give to the garden. Sometimes you give to the community. Sometimes the community gives to you.

The green landscape produced by spring showers has now been replaced by summer brown. It’s hot. I find myself wanting to do little and just say, “It’s hot.” And as always, there is much to do on the Ranch.

There is a crispness in the air these days as we move into fall at the ranch. It's been a lovely summer, and we are grateful for all the visitors who have blessed the land with their presence, and for all the healthy, vibrant beings who call this place their home.

Rejuvenation - August 2017 Update

Dear Ones, 

All is well at the ranch!   

The weather in August has been all over the place!  We had some cooler weather than usual, which was a welcome respite from the summer heat. And now, we're having a heat wave, with temperatures over 100 degrees!

Dear Ones, 
Many visitors from near and afar blessed the land with their presence this month.  Milo Page and LeiLani Drouillard enjoyed doing service work at the ranch while staying in one of the Guest Houses.  Here's a sweet note written by LeiLani about her time at Windermere:

"Excitement in the air”  - June 2017 Update

Dear Ones, 
There is excitement in the air as we gear up for our Annual Conference in July.  People come from all over the world, and some of them love to visit Windermere while they're in California.  We're expecting guests before and after Conference, and Dave Wright will be leading his famous tours of Windermere after Conference.

The hillsides of Windermere are beautifully golden now, and summer is on the way!  Wildflowers adorn the land in vibrant colors -- particularly lovely are the Indian Paintbrush and Sticky Monkey Flowers.

"A lost goat is found" - February 2017 Update

February has been another very wet month for us, with LOTS of rain.  The ponds are full and overflowing, and Windermere is gorgeous, with abundant new growth and lush greenery!  The ranch has received 40 inches of rain this water year, which is 167% of normal precipitation for this date.

"A winter visit to Windermere" - January 2017 Update

January has been a very wet month in California!!  Fortunately the rains are making a significant impact on the drought conditions in the state, despite flooding and mudslides in some areas. 

At Windermere all is well. The land is lush and green  The animals and humans are doing great.
