Rabbit and Rodent population is peaking in the canyons and hillsides of coastal San Diego County. In many neighborhoods, car headlights illuminate the rear ends of scampering cottontail rabbits making raids on succulent garden vegetation.

Wild Rose, a California native, is in bloom in San Diego County’s foothills and mountains. In moist, lowland areas and along small watercourses, wild rose shows off small, fluorescent-pink flowers. By June and July, the rose bloom will reach the Laguna and Palomar Mountains, where the plant grows in abundance in shady locales.

The Catalina Eddy, a meteorological condition responsible for days-long episodes of dreary, overcast weather over San Diego, is most likely to occur in May and June. This weather pattern, which intensifies our late-spring “June gloom,” happens when moist marine air, drawn inland from the area around Santa Catalina Island, condenses in the form of low clouds along the Southern California coastline. The summer-like episodes experienced along the coast in recent weeks should prove but an odd prelude to the usual cool, humid late-spring weather yet to come.

Laguna Hills Mall Redeveloper Shares Vision for Site
Plans to transform the Laguna Hills Mall into a mixed-use community will be shared with the community during an upcoming town hall meeting.
Proposed blueprints call for 1,500 residential units, 465,000-square-feet of office space, and 250,000-square-feet of retail and entertainment space. A hotel and 2.5-acre multipurpose park are also planned for the land, which is owned by Merlone Geir.
“It’s an environment for the community to come eat, drink, hang out with friends,” Stephen Logan, vice president and developer at Merlone Geir, told The Epoch Times. “It’s an all-encompassing place for everybody to be a part of.”
