Today I am thankful for this wonderful valley in which we live. Surrounded by mountains on 3 sides, we are protected from nasty weather. It is a beautiful valley with big oak trees, majestic buttes, meandering creeks and trees, trees, trees. When people visit here for the first time, they often comment on how many trees we have around here. All sorts, sizes and colours.
The sunsets are vivid red, bright gold, deep purples and then fade into the most beautiful velvety midnight blue sky. I call it a "Maxfield Parrish Sky" after the famous painter who was the original painter of light.
The heavens declare the Glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands...Ps. 19
After years of dreaming and vacationing in the land of Larry's youth and forebears, 8 1/2 years ago we got to move here. Although we may not retire here, this valley continually takes my breath away with it's beauty.
