Last year Lila went on a staircase walk hosted by the Secret Stairs author and had fun exploring the hills around Silver Lake. She also joined a night hike in Griffith Park, where she saw wildlife and cool nighttime city views near Griffith Observatory. L.A. is a great place to go on walks!
Lila glanced at the calendar and realized 5 September is the new moon, which she then read online is a good day to make a fresh start. So if you’ve been feeling tired and stressed, it’s a perfect day to make a new beginning!
Backyard chicken keeping is quite popular in Los Angeles, and fans even have a Facebook page and Meetup group. Lila always looks forward to seeing this local family of chickens that free range feeds nearby.
One of the things Lila loves most about living in her area, is seeing bright colors combined with ordinary objects creatively re-imagined, as with the wooden chandeliers hanging outside El Chavo Restaurant on Sunset Boulevard.
Lila strung the lights across the balcony area — Ian couldn’t care less, but he grudgingly agreed that it added a European flair to the patio. Lila pointed out that was exactly the point. As usual, the only thing they could agree on was a little tequila with some lime to cut through the taste of a long day at work.
