It felt great to get Tranquila back on the road again.
Buck's Lake
Our swim was very brief, after all, it is still May.
A couple of days later we had snow on our back deck!
The 17 mile drive out of Quincy wound through a wide valley of peaceful pastures dotted with yellow spring flowers. Images of horse and cattle ranches, a small white clapboard school house, and a child playing on a swing hanging from a pine tree evoked distant memories of the fifties. A feeling of "life is good" and a sense that world is a safe place came as necessary respite after watching the early morning news on television. Living in a small hamlet is a gift, and one we dreamed of for years. A dream come true, for which we are thankful everyday.
Ahhhh, Spring.
Lazy Days for Lamas and Longhorns.
Longhorn Scottish Hairy Cow - Wow!
As we climbed higher in elevation towards Buck's Lake we passed hillsides covered with Mountain Dogwood. Breathtaking. All this, and trout too, 42 miles from our front door.
