This Week: Around the Neighborhood

Lately, I've been feeling particularly fortunate to live in such a gorgeous spot.  Because we're not sure just how long we'll be living where we do now, I feel all the more appreciative.....

 ....of the sunrise from our kitchen window....

....of the view from a friend's house....

....of the roads and hills around our town....

....and of the scenes outside the window of our car on a Sunday drive.

These views and so many others (the ocean, the vineyards, the mountains, the valleys, the rivers and the orchards) surround us.  By now, S is used to hearing me exclaim, "Aren't we lucky to live in such a beautiful place!"  No matter how long we end up staying here for, I don't think I'll ever take this country's natural beauty for granted....
