I live in such a beautiful place!!! I am often amazed as I drive the windy roads of the Sierras. As I come around a bend, the most spectacular view will open up, revealing a canvas of layered, distant mountains blanketed in blue skys, draped with white puffy or dramatic red swift clouds.

The other day, all I was doing was taking allex for a drive to help him fall asleep and it was breathtaking! We drove down a back road where there are few homes far and in between. Just rolling hill, cattle ranches with Oak Trees dispersed here and there.

It was after a storm and the air was crisp and clear and bright. The hills and meadows were covered in lush green grass and the creeks and ponds were filled with glistening blue water, gently rippling in the breeze. I took in a deep breathe and drank in the beauty! Its things like this that make me glad to be alive!
