“And these. These are my girls.” - Valerie
Yes, the house is beautiful. 2800 square feet on 1 acre, gated community in Montecito, beautiful pool, two bed guest house. But also, a handful of redwood trees.
Valerie was a cool woman. She definitely was an artistic woman. But it was when she showed me her “girls”, that I realized she was someone intriguing. She had three strong redwoods growing in the back corner of her lot with a stone path leading to a bench overlooking the whole property. She told me she had the irrigation down below four feet so the roots were properly taken care, and you could just tell she was so proud of those redwood trees. They were her girls. I think I’d be sad too having to leave them behind🌲🥲
