Citron Outdoor Living Luv

The Design Confidential

I'm dreaming of a magical outdoor space, and those of you who are still in the throws of winter like weather are very likely doing the same! Bring on the sunshine and the amazing outdoor decor while you are at it, Mother Nature...

Since we are in a new home, I am obviously going to decorate each and every new space in an entirely different way, duh... In the words of my East Asian friends and bretheren...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Two members of California's Congressional delegation have introduced bills that would expand the boundaries of Yosemite National Park for the first time in 70 years.  

Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Jim Costa introduced the companion bills on Tuesday.  

They would add 1,600 acres on the park's western border to its existing 761,000-acre territory, fulfilling the vision of famed naturalist John Muir. He had argued for the land's inclusion more than a century ago, but lost out to timber interests.  

The land offers stunning views of the Merced River. Pacific Forest Trust has agreed with a group of private landowners to sell it to the National Park Service. The value still has to be appraised.  

Costa and Feinstein, both Democrats, say the money would come from fees from offshore oil drilling.
