I have lived in this Valley for 20 years and every single year I am surprised by the third week of February when the almond trees and thereafter the stone fruit (peaches, nectarines, plums) explode in a riot of pink. It is a wonderful surprise.
Every. Single. Year.
It was overcast when we left town this morning to take care of business 90 miles north. But look at our drive home!
Sunshine or snowbanks, it is a beautiful world in which we live. (And I'm gonna keep that mirror sparkling clean from here on out. You never know when something amazing will show up in the rearview.)
I am now and will always be a California girl at heart--- and not the kind Katy Perry sings about. Ah the green. March was a good month to get married in California in. Wish we could come visit :)
ReplyDeleteYou can take the girl out of California, but you can't take the California out of the girl. You & Sean made a good choice five years ago. I wish you could celebrate your anniversary here every March, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat I wouldn't give for a "chilly" 46 degrees. I never thought I'd say this, but I miss the valley.
ReplyDeleteOne of the gifts of leaving home is finding out the unique bits that you love about it. The Valley is a good place to be from.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Christina Marie on this one.
