    I do love this thread CoCo. It's so pleasant and happy.

    I can't wait either, Ber. I dance in the first rains of autumn and gambol upon the verdure of the graceful slopes . . .

    CHEERS!

    The rain, continuous for several days now, would surely flood us out were we not holding firmly to an upper elevation plot of land. I bolted once again yesterday afternoon despite Wind's gleeful promise to drive Brother Rain down my otherwise tightly-drawn jacket collar and firmly-laced boots. It was a wash, but I had to get out. What distant hills showed through the pummeling downpours and less ferocious but still entwining and scurrying mists were set off in vague relief, their black-green against an all-enveloping gray. Houses of every description, foundations grasping tenaciously to inclines perceived less menacing in times of sunshine and fair winds, shuddered in the bluster of long-delayed, pent up winter fury. The weather has eased somewhat, and the hillside homes shake themselves off, awaiting the next round.

    Yes, Ber, thanks; I lifted it from an earlier page. It describes my wintery 'hood in the Sierra foothills.

    Totally forgot about this thread.

    Thanks for bringing it back.

    Love,

    CoCo

    CoCo I swear your walks sounds mesmerizing. Too bad you can't give guide-tour walks -

    So good hearing from you, LV101! I appreciate your kind words.

    What is so wonderful about my 'hood is that it is reminiscent of my childhood surroundings . . . who says you can never go home?!?!?

    Best.

    CoCo
