SONOMA CO. AGING & DISABILITY RESOUCE HUB MEETING TUES. AUG, 19th at 12:30pm: ROP encourages homeowners to attend the HUB meeting to learn about accessing local resources available to seniors.
PLANNING ON BUILDING A FENCE OR DECK ADD-ON?? Park rule, 4-B states: Prior Approval required: “Prior to installation…you must submit for approval a plan describing in detail what you propose to install any item installed without our approval must be removed by you within 10 days of written notice.”
Be sure to obtain written approval from park management for any modification or construction on the mobilehome space, including exterior paint, prior to the commencement of the construction of the aforementioned items. Please don’t get caught in a situation where you have to tear down a newly constructed item because a permit wasn’t first obtained.

Sunday 9AM to 3PM - All ages
Sunday 3PM to 9PM

PARK APPROVAL REQUIRED FOR PETS: Park rules require residents to seek park management approval in writing before bringing a pet into the park.
SEWER LINE BACKUPS CAUSED BY WIPES AND PAPER TOWELS: We have many new residents who have recently moved into WMCC. Please read this notification regarding sewer backups. The usual cause of the backup is sanitary wipes, excessive amounts of toilet paper, paper towels and other personal hygiene products. We know this, because these items are what is fished out of the pipe at the clog. These emergency service calls cost the park thousands of dollars, but worse than that, it creates an inconvenience for homeowners. Often these incidents happen on the weekend which interrupts the weekend of the homeowner and that of park staff. Package labeling states these products are flushable, however they are not and will cause a sewer line back up. Human waste and toilet paper are the only things that should be flushed down the toilet. Keep a waste basket in your bathroom and toss wipes and other personal hygiene products into that receptacle and dispose of them in your garbage can. Homeowners are charged for the service charge if it is determined the homeowner is responsible for the backup.
JOIN US TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23rd, 1PM IN THE WMCC CLUBHOUSE FOR THE NEXT ROPWMCC WITH WMCC HOMEOWNERS.
Sincerely,
DianePriest

This month’s pick is a gentle, soul-soothing journey through love, loss, and the quiet power of kindness. Told through the soft conversations of four unlikely friends a curious boy, a cake-loving mole, a cautious fox, and a wise horse this beautifully illustrated book is packed with hand-lettered reflections that feel like warm sunlight on a cloudy day. At one point, the boy is asked what he wants to be when he grows up. His answer? “Kind.” That simple moment echoes throughout every page, inviting readers to embrace compassion, vulnerability, and connection in a world that often moves too fast. With whimsical ink and wash drawings and words that feel like truths we’ve always
August is peak pollination season, and our buzzing little friends are working overtime. Bees may be small, but they’re responsible for pollinating nearly one-third of the food we eat think summer staples like tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, and peaches. During these sun-drenched days, local bees stay busy fluttering from bloom to bloom in backyard gardens, balcony pots, and even cracks in the
sidewalk. Supporting them doesn’t require a hive or a lot of effort just a little kindness and awareness.
Planting flowers like lavender or
sunflowers, avoiding harsh pesticides, and offering a shallow dish of water with pebbles for safe sipping can make a real difference. Even something as simple as buying honey from a local beekeeper helps keep the buzz alive. So the next time a bee hums past you on its way to work, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of its mission and maybe leave a few flowers out as thanks.
Juicy, flavorful, and perfect for the grill or oven if you're keeping it cool inside.

Dear PG&E Customer:
Summer has arrived, bringing with it plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun and enjoyment.

SummerNightsontheGreen
Windsor Town Green Thursdays in August 6-8:30PM
Every Thursday night, Windsor’s Town Green transforms into a lively hub of music, laughter, and togetherness. This beloved summer concert series brings local and regional bands to the stage for evenings of dancing, clapping, and feet-tapping under the stars. Families sprawl on picnic blankets while kids weave between food trucks, and couples sway to the beat as the sun dips low. It’s the perfect way to wind down a warm summer day while staying connected to the heart of the community. Each week features a different music genre everything from funk to folk to high-energy rock. With local vendors, friendly faces, and twilight magic, it’s a must-do Windsor tradition.
SummerHarvestFarmersMarket
WindsorTownGreen
Sundays in August 9:30AM 12:30PM August is the peak of the harvest, and Windsor’s weekly farmers market is bursting with color and flavor. Stroll through stalls of just-picked peaches, vine-ripened tomatoes, vibrant wildflowers, and handmade artisan goods. You’ll find cold drinks, breakfast bites, and cheerful tunes from local musicians. It’s not just a shopping trip it’s a Sunday ritual that draws neighbors, families, and friends out into the sunshine. Kids enjoy free tastings while adults connect with farmers and makers who pour their heart into their work. The relaxed atmosphere and shaded walkways make it a perfect way to ease into your day. Bring: A tote bag or basket for produce, a sun hat, and cash/card for vendor purchases.
FamilyMovieontheGreen
This summer favorite brings the magic of the movies outdoors! Families, couples, and friends gather on the lawn to watch a heartwarming film beneath the stars. The evening kicks off with lawn games and free popcorn, while the big screen glows in the warm twilight. It’s a low-key, high-joy experience easy, relaxed, and filled with that nostalgic “summer night” feeling. The movie is family-friendly and free to attend, making it a perfect outing for all ages. Whether you’re snuggling up under a blanket or stretched out in a lawn chair, it’s a peaceful way to cap off the week. Bring: A blanket or lawn chairs, snacks or a picnic dinner, and a light jacket for after dark.
NationalNightOut
Windsor Town Green and Market Street Tuesday, August 5th, 2025 6-8:30PM
National Night Out is more than a block party it’s a celebration of connection and community safety. Hosted annually in towns across the country, this event invites neighbors to meet the people who serve and protect them, including local police, firefighters, and city staff. Windsor’s version includes live music, giveaways, food trucks, games for kids, and opportunities to engage with public service teams in a relaxed, festive setting. It’s a great way for families to learn about emergency preparedness while having fun and building local pride. Plus, the evening light on the Green makes everything feel golden and full of possibility. Bring: Comfortable walking shoes, water bottle, and a smile it's all about connection!
August carries a kind of magic that’s easy to miss if we’re not paying attention. It doesn’t arrive with fanfare or big beginnings instead, it quietly settles in with golden evenings, ripening fruit, and that unmistakable warmth of a day well spent. It’s not quite the height of summer anymore, but it’s not yet fall either. This is the inbetween, the stretch of time when everything slows just enough for us to catch our breath.
There’s something comforting about this part of the year. The gardens are in full bloom, the sun feels softer, and the breeze begins
to hint just barely at change. It’s the season of porch sitting, iced tea sipping, and telling the same beloved stories with just a little more fondness. It’s the season of remembering what makes us feel full: not in the calendar sense, but in the heart.
As the world spins on, we start to notice the little rituals that bring us back to ourselves picking tomatoes off the vine, hearing laughter drift from an open window, feeling the way the light shifts through the trees. These small moments are the ones we hold onto, not because they’re
extraordinary, but because they’re ours.
The last light of summer doesn’t ask us to do more it invites us to be still, to notice, and to savor. It reminds us that life is a series of seasons, and each one holds its own kind of beauty. Whether we’re tending our gardens, gathering with friends, or simply watching the day fade gently into dusk, this is the time to soak it in. Not because it’s ending, but because it’s here.
And that, in itself, is worth celebrating.
