Youth For Direct Relief Students Know The Power of Flowers - Noozhawk

Flowers for Relief is run by Youth for Direct Relief (Y4DR), a group of 75 students who lead club chapters at six local schools: Santa Barbara, San Marcos, Dos Pueblos and Bishop Diego high schools; Laguna Blanca School and Dunn School. For a $75 donation, supporters can have bouquets delivered by Y4DR members to people or places between Goleta and Carpinteria on April 7 and 21. The fundraiser has brought in more than $325,000 since 2007. The generosity of the donors provides real and useful international aid to struggling regions while bringing smiles to those who were selected to receive the flowers locally. Youth for Direct Relief kids will meet at 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9, in Direct Relief’s headquarters, 6100 Wallace Becknell Road, for the Flowers for Relief kickoff event. Members will receive an update on Direct Relief’s work since the last flower drive and assemble the Flowers for Relief mailing.

Daniel Johnston has died; Austin singer-songwriter and artist was 58; Cause of death not known - CBS News

Kent State. The tapes he made included "Songs of Pain" and "More Songs of Pain."He moved to Texas in 1983, first living in Houston and then San Marcos. While working at a carnival, he traveled to Austin — at the time the center of underground cool — and decided to stay. He continued to give out his tapes for free and record stores began selling them, which eventually got the attention of MTV's "Cutting Edge." Bailey Bailey hugs the frog-like creature known as "Jeremiah the Innocent" at the "Hi, How Are You" mural created by musician and artist Daniel Johnston on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2019, in Austin, Texas. Nick Wagner / AP His songs often contained innocent pleas for love and bore titles such as "Life in Vain," ''True Love Will Find You in the End" and "Walking the Cow." Johnston's struggles with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia formed the heart of the Oscar-nominated 2005 documentary "The Devil and Daniel Johnston." The documentary's filmmaker, Jeff Feuerzeig, told KEYE Johnston was "the greatest songwriter of my generation."Feuerzeig said he first discovered Johnston in the '80s through underground cassette tapes sent from a P.O. Box in Austin. Through the "hissy" sound of the tape, Feuerzeig said he could tell Johnston was "literally at the level of Bob Dylan or Lou Reed" as a songwriter.Feurezeig said Johnston was "very open" about his mental illness. "Back in the years in the '80s, when it was not a subject people were free to talk about — I think he's broken down a lot of those barriers because a lot of people suffer from this," Feuerzeig said.

On Gardening | Chilean flora can be challenging, but rewarding - Santa Cruz Sentinel

San Marcos Growers). The blossoms are “outrageous,” but the plant sprawls in a way that calls for staking. The older stems can be pruned to improve the plant’s overall form, but because blossoms are produced on the previous season’s growth, pruning should be done only after flowering. My continuing quest for interesting these plants focuses currently on the Chilean Bellflower (Lapageria rosea), a beautiful flowering vine that is Chile’s national flower. A few nurseries list this plant on their websites, but it’s generally out of stock. Persistence should produce results. Adopting a theme of your choice could provide an alternative to the usual spontaneous approach to gardening in favor of the satisfaction of design coherence and the appeal of an ongoing hunt for botanical treasures.

Orange crush of visitors: Will California's wildflowers survive the crowds? - Phys.Org

Walker Canyon until her daughter saw photos of the flowers on Instagram and urged the family to make the trip from San Marcos. Standing on the edge of a trail and watching her daughter pose for a picture among the poppies, Fonseca said she wasn't expecting the crowds-or the hike. "I'm not dressed for this," she said. "But this is beautiful!" Kim Cousins, president of the Lake Elsinore Chamber of Commerce, said about 1,000 people have been traveling each day to see the super bloom there. The spectacular sight is creating a bit of a traffic nightmare around Walker Canyon, though. An extra parking lot was opened, but even with the additional space, drivers can still anticipate a jam on the 15 Freeway, with cars backing up as much as 20 miles at times. In 2017, frustrated drivers left their vehicles on the shoulder of the freeway to reach the blooms. This season has been no different as visitors descend on the flowered hillsides. During the last super bloom, there were two-hour delays on nearby roads as more than 140,000 people visited Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, according to park official Dennis Stephen. Most headed to the visitors center, overwhelming staff. But this year, he said, rangers were making sure people know exactly where to go to see the flowers. "Prior to 2017, there wasn't the social media experience," Stephen said. "We were not quite as prepared. We just want everyone to enjoy the flowers. To do so with large crowds always requires a lot of patience." Two years ago, the park reported several instances of visitors being overcome by the heat, and off-leash dogs-as well as humans-trampling the flowers. This year, Anza-Borrego has placed booths throughout the park to assist visitors, including notices for guided hikes and tours. November rains gave the blooms a head start, said Jim Dice, a reserve manager for UC Irvine's Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center. But unlike 2017, when the flowers blossomed all at once in one area, Stephen said, there's no need to rush to take in the spectacle this year. This winter's rains were scattered across different areas at different times, which means the blooms to the south will be around until April. Officials at the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve are also expecting a later bloom there. But in Lake Elsinore, the poppies are already at their peak, decorating the hillside with splashes of color. "I've seen it on the way, when I've driven by," said Diane Bosma of San Diego, who recently stopped for the first time. "From the freeway, you get a taste, but there's so much more than that."

Texans spend big for the holidays - Hays Free Press

Wallethub analyzed over 500 cities across the nation for the report. Here in Hays County, the San Marcos Premium Outlets and Tanger Outlets have consistently accumulated over $1 million in sales tax revenue in the month of December alone, according to reports obtained by the City of San Marcos from 2016 to the present. "(Texas) ranked so high because of the large holiday budget potentially available for each household, which is over $2,000," said Jill Gonzalez, an analyst at Wallethub. "This means the consumers in Texas are, in general, in a comfortable financial position, which allows them to engage in holiday spending without too much stress or fear of going over the budget." According to the National Retail Federation, Americans are expected to spend around $1,000 during the Holiday season, which is up four percent from 2017. But while many cities in Texas can afford to splurge during the season of giving, there are many cities across the country that struggle in this department. "We found the largest holiday budgets to be more than $2,000, with the largest in Texas' (city) Flower Mound, at $2,761," Gonzalez said. "The difference between the first and last budget is huge. Flower Mound's budget is over 43 times bigger than Cleveland's, where people can spend only $64 on average on gifts." The study credits Texas' low taxes, debt to income ratio, savings and other expenses to draw its concl...

Local floral boutique The Bloom Bar blossoms in San Marcos

Kayli Head, owner and lead designer of The Bloom Bar in San Marcos, proves that one does not need a green thumb to pursue a career in the floral business.“I was always in my mom’s garden and I loved flowers, but [my passion]sparked when I was 14 [years old]in my high school floral design class at school. I just really picked [it]up quickly,” Head said.Head describes The Bloom Bar as a wedding and event boutique floral studio that specializes in garden-style weddings. A majority of the flowers Head receives are shipped from Los Angeles with a few local wholesalers in the Hill Country and Austin.After working freelance for a few flower shops and the San Marcos Main Street Program, Head decided in March 2016 to open her own shop in her garage before moving to her brick-and-mortar shop in June 2016.“I bought some flowers and took [bouquets to]some wedding planners, and that’s literally how I got started,” Head said. “My friends and my family believed in me far before I believed in myself because it’s super scary to go out on your own. Now that...
