A View From God's Country





The above is a shot of a sunset I took from the second-floor balcony at the back of our building. Sure couldn't get that kind of view in Berwyn, hmm? I think I notice awesome sunsets more often than planes in the sky.


The rest of the pictures are from a recent day trip. We decided to get out and explore one of the local parks a couple of weekends ago. Lake Sahoma is a popular fishing spot, but there's also a small playground and picnic area that was perfect for a picnic lunch. We then went down the road to Pretty Water Lake, which is... pretty! Okay, they could have come up with a more imaginative name. But it has a nice trail around it which we had fun exploring. Supposed to have a waterfall too, but as you can see from the picture of Amelia (standing in the "bed" of the "waterfall"), there isn't much water to fall right now. It's been very dry for the past month.


It's finally getting cold here, though the snow on Friday just missed us, so we probably won't be doing much more exploring until spring. Now please, no blizzards up north when we drive up for Christmas, okay?
