I Love Living Here

This is the view from my front window


This is the view from my back porch


I love that Andrew squeals with delight every time he sees a bunny.


I love the hawks with their impressive wing span and the frost that shows up when it is 7 to 10 degrees colder than on the coast (although I hope we're done with the latter).


I think it's interesting (?) that the occasional bears (black spot by the front of the house) will greet the sun in our front yard as the fog lifts and I love the otters that frolic in the backyard when the 'lake' is fresh.


I spot peacocks that take mid-morning strolls and I hear roosters that announce the most beautiful parts of the day - dawn and dusk.


I have a front row seat to the most beautiful display of thousands of stars, and it doesn't cost a dime.

My amaryllis bloom shows up overnight, always when I least expect it, and puts a smile on my face, like a good friend stopping by for a surprise visit.


Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful place I call home.
