Hello Palos Verdes issue No. 34

I guess Phil the groundhog was right this year! On February 2, 2023 when Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, he predicted 6 more weeks of winter weather. He seems to have been right. I don’t know about you but I am ready for Spring. This is our Spring issue and as I sit here writing this, the wind is howling and it’s 54 degrees outside. If Phil was right, we can look forward to our beautiful sunny California weather back in a few more weeks!

Regardless, the hills are alive on the Peninsula! The rain has given us lots of beautiful green and the flowers are blooming. This was our inspiration for this issue. For many reasons, this is my favorite time of year. New beginnings and opportunities to “grow” and enjoy all our community has to offer. Longer days are coming and this offers us more daylight to get outside and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.

We have some great stories this month. From our feature on Peninsula High School graduate, Jonathan Ho’s microgreen business to a rescued horse that loves cookies, there is something for everyone. I’d like to thank Joan Behrens and the Rotary Club of Palos Verdes Peninsula for continuing to honor the wonderful teachers we have on the Peninsula through their Educator of the Year program. I had the honor of attending the event this year and had the opportunity to talk to some of these selfless men and women who give so much of themselves as they take care of our children on a daily basis.

Thank you for your continued support of this community magazine. Please continue to submit your story ideas and as I always say, “this is not my magazine, it is your magazine. We are just the vehicle to tell the story.”

Here’s to new beginnings, kindness and making some kind of positive difference in the world.

PV Magazine would like to thank Dianne Gowder for sharing her beautiful Spring photos on pages 16 and 17 . Inspired by her love for walking, she hikes and shares the beauty surrounding her through her snapshots with her Iphone 11. Living in San Pedro and loving life in the South Bay for the last 30 years Gowder was born in the UK. Her infatuation with nature and the majesty of the Palos Verdes Peninsula has allowed her to combine her two favorite hobbies, walking and photography.
