Home, with the neighbors fighting...

Its been so incredibly beautiful here the last few days that I feel I have to mention it. To have this view just out the front door, off the deck, is sometimes beyond belief. Here is where we spend so much of our time during the summer. It is a great place to sit in the morning with that first cup of coffee. Lunch 'al fresco' is sweet. Dinner outside every night, just as the sun is setting, is pure bliss. It seems that I have so many pictures of this view and every one of them is just a little bit different. At times like these, it is hard to remember the 'downs' (you know... 'life's ups & downs'?) and I guess that is the beauty of feeling 'at home'.
