A Rainy Saturday in Portola Hills

Yesterday we had what seems like a rare encounter these days, rain!  With the current drought in California, I don' think this made any difference other than in bringing a little comfort to our lawns and I will have to say our souls. But it sure was nice to see!  I don't know about you but we hunkered down, made a big crock pot of chicken chili, watched movies and enjoyed the day looking forward to a little green the rain will bring to the Saddleback Mountains. Hope you got to enjoy the day too!

The good news for Portola Hills, it is a sought after neighborhood, offering a great school, great selection of homes from condo's to estates and best of all it is tucked away close to the Saddleback Mountai
