Sharing Our Surroundings With Friends
We have been priviledged this summer to share our surroundings with many visitors. It has been an amazing time of New Explorations! It is a magical experience to live in the valley and be surrounded by so many orchards and fields filled with fresh produce. The magic continues as you venture out into the foothills and on up into the mountains to play among the trees, rocks, and waterfalls of Kings Canyon, the Sequoias, and Yosemite. These are the surprises awaiting us in our backyard and we are blessed to have the time to share them with so many friends and family as they venture out our way. We have had a continual stream of visitors sharing our days with us as the children are in and out of summer school. Between classes we explore the area and are blessed each time with new sights! Each time we return to one of our many favorite spots, it is exciting to see how it has changed in the few days when we were last walking among its paths! The colors, the shadows, the Falls, the meadows, the trees, the rocks, the sounds, the smells, continue to evolve as the days pass and we are greeted with yet a new surprise each time we return to these places of great beauty and power! I wonder if I will ever tire of these spots! To walk among these sacred grounds is a blessing and something I hope to never take for granted!
