While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
San Pedro y San Pablo (Saint Peter and Saint Paul). A mission established by
Fray Francisco Garcés in 1780 among the Yuma
on the west bank of Colorado River, near the site of modern Fort Defiance
(Pilot Knob), 8 or 10 miles below Yuma, in extreme south east California.
On July 17-19, 1781, the mission was sacked and burned by the natives,
about 50 Spaniards, including Garcés, three other friars, and Capt.
Rivera y Moncada were killed, and the women and children made captives.
