What's Vacaville?

Well, let me tell you.  Vacaville is a city in Northern California.  In fact, Vacaville epitomizes Northern California.  Unlike Southern California, we have all four seasons.  We don't get snow here in Vacaville, but we get frost and lots of rain in the winter; we have beautiful, mild weather in spring; crisp, cool fall days; and scorching hot, bone-dry summers.  Formerly a ranching and farming community, Vacaville is returning to its roots.  Farm stands and farmer's markets sell produce locally grown in our rich soil, here at the edge of the Central Valley.  Chicken farmers (chicken ranchers?) sell their products not only to locals, but also to restaurants in the nearby San Francisco Bay Area.

The Vacaville Housewife has the good fortune to live in this delightful place, and also to write about managing life and a household here in Vacaville, California.
