Celeste, you make me blush. Thank you!
I feel so lucky to be living in Northern California. I've always wanted a home by a stream with trees all around. When it came time for us to choose our new retirement home practicality set in. We live in a town, close to medical facilities. We have city sewer, water and lights. It's not the country home of my dreams but I can get to those big trees in less than an hour and spend the day there and sleep in my own bed at night. It's not a bad life!!
Redwood trees like lots and lots of moisture. Therefore there is a lot of rain and fog in this region. I have learned to enjoy the weather. I don't have to go out in the rain if I don't want to (no recess duty to take!) and I have more time to quilt! It's a win-win situation :!:
