Summer is in full swing, and there is so much to enjoy throughout Nevada County and Lake of the Pines.

We’re excited to share the second edition of The Front Porch, our monthly newsletter created to help our friends, clients, and neighbors stay connected with the community we all love.

Inside the August edition, you’ll find local events, seasonal things to do, a fresh recipe from Angie’s Kitchen, gardening and homeowner tips, a Nevada County market update, and a spotlight on one of our favorite South County restaurants, Sunrise Cafe.

We’re also introducing a new feature this month: Photo of the Month. We kicked it off with a funny backyard visitor who decided our bird feeder looked like the perfect snack bar!

Beginning next month, we’d love to feature photos submitted by our readers. Sunsets, wildlife, gardens, lakes, local landmarks, and everyday foothill moments are all welcome. Please include your name and where the photo was taken when sending it to Angie@FoothillsProperty.com.

Grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and enjoy the August edition of:
