Well, the other day I was being thankful and I became aware of my residence, the place where I live. I looked around the place and liked it. I then wondered how many others liked their homes. I thought I would share about mine
I live on the side of a mountain that opens up to a natural wildlife corridor. I have views of the mountains, trees and skies with beautiful sunsets. The house is 50 years old and was custom built. It has an unusual amount of windows on all sides of it. There are more windows than walls.
In the front of the house are big, mature beautiful trees that tower over everything that include Palms too. I also have a large covered porch that overlooks the views and serves me rain or shine.
No home would be complete without a BBQ and I have a huge 50 gallon drum converted job that smokes and grills. I BBQ nearly everyday. I put things on there that Cave-men would be proud to eat.
On the other side of my mountain, is a full blown blossoming City. In it are all things you would want like shopping, eateries. and movie theaters. Currently, riverside is spending money on itself and creating some nice dynamics for its future.
A nice state of the art community Park is going in just seconds away from my haven of rest. It will host community activities, families and kids playing ball. It is a good addition to the area and I have to pass it up coming and going.
It is very quiet where I live during the day and night. You can hear the trees rustling in the wind, the birds singing their guts out and plenty of wildlife like...possums, foxes, bobcats, coyotes, skunks, squirrels, lizards, snakes, and birds of all kinds and more.
The freeway is just minutes away. I have good neighbors that are happy to see me and I them....We exchange pleasantries and homegrown goodies from time to time.
Living where I live is like being in a vacation home, but close to everything. It just worked out that way. It is also one of the best kept pockets of residence in the City and people are always surprised to find out that there are 30 custom homes snuggled away at the base/side of a mountain.
It is not much in the scheme of things...but this is my home. My place of rest and I like it a lot. It makes me wonder about your home too and...... what you are thinking.....
