I love the ridge trail above our house. The trail provides many things; Quiet beauty that feeds and nourishes the soul; Hills that get the heart rate up and blood flowing; Solid earth that helps me to ground and center; Views that inspire and remind me of the vast creativity of Great Creator. Each time I hike up the hill to the trail I see something new. I love to walk solo or with my family. It is a blessing to live in a place so beautiful.

| Wild flowers and wild weeds are sprouting up, spreading across the hills. |

| It seems we always catch a glimpse of our turkey friends! |

| California Poppy. Our state flower. Here three poppy take in the last of the days sun. |

| We found this magnificent oak tree complete with swings! |
 |
| And we had to stop for a swing. |

| Havana wasn't too keen on the swing. She preferred to push it. |

| Ms. Monkey preferred to swing! |
 |
| There was even a rope swing! |

Wonderful! It makes me miss our former home...and y'all!
