Returning from our 5 1/2 year voyage in the South Pacific, we found a farm house next to a lemon orchard in Carpinteria, where we enrolled the kids in the excellent Cate School nearby. (We had applied for admission from Papua New Guinea, which did not hurt their chance for acceptance).
The house needed a lot of work...
Dana helped our landlord with some of the work.

When we first moved in, this dog came wandering up from our new neighbors down hill. He became a regular visitor.
The property had lemon trees, which were commercially harvested
