Welcome to Quailhaven

     This land is a treasure, an oasis for many animals.  You are the visitor and this is their home.

     Here, a slower pace relaxes with tranquility and peace.  Clean air and open spaces invite the senses.  Birds chirping, quail rustling, and deer grazing is a way of life forgotten in the cities.

     Wild turkey roam and birds, of many varieties, fill the trees.  Frogs and crickets fill the night air with their songs.  The sounds of ravens and crows echo in the valley.

     There are many varieties of flora in this forest like fir, pine, oak, madrone and manzanita, to name only a few.  Many varieties of plants and wild flowers can also be seen here at different seasons of the year.

     This web site has the experiences of those who have come to this place to renew their souls with Mother Nature’s tranquility.

News

     The Summer Solstice has come, 21 June, and it was short pants and shirt sleeve weather.  It is very welcome after a cool and wet Spring, but I'm not complaining.  There is still plenty of green grass, almost three foot high in places, and wild flowers still dot the landscape.  But there are patches of grass that have dried, so the lawn mower and weed eater will have more work to do before fire season.

     Quailhaven now has a vegetable garden, with currently six planters to start.  My plan is to have Eighteen planters when it is complete.  This is in a section of the field between the two oak trees.  Go to the Pictures page for details.  In a few months I expect to have a lot of tomatoes from the Eighteen plants, three per bed.  Stay tuned...

Issues

     As you may have noticed I have been absent from updating the site for almost two years.  Family issues pulled me away which have which required my full attention.  So you may find various links outside the web site that no longer work.  In the weeks and months ahead I will be testing each one and updating or removing the bad ones.  Thank you for contacting me and reporting these issues.  (Still working on this... so please be patient.)

     Data collection for the current weather section has ceased, but you can review past records in that section.  I am researching more accurate temperature gauges and considering an automated data collection for record keeping so this is on hold for now.

     If you are not already using the browser Mozilla Firefox I recommend it.  It is secure and easy to use.  Its variable text feature makes it very user friendly for the visually challenged user. For more information about it go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/.

     Our guest book is currently closed to new entries due to an overflow of spammers, but it is still open to view past entries.  See the contact page if you wish to send us a message.

     Thank you for visiting Quailhaven.
