20/20 - Come & See

There are so many benefits to life off the main highway: beauty, privacy, quiet (can you hear it?) to name just a few. But, as with anything, there is also a downside. 

As I write, I'm sitting in our snug living room, tea at hand, fire blazing, relishing the gleam  of polished wood and the light scent of clean... Ah...perfection. At this point you should be hearing the screeching rewind of the tape.

There are T-shirts sold at a little shop in Lion's Head with the caption: " If you don't like the weather in Lion's Head wait 5 minutes". Today is fair. At least for the current 5 minutes. This summer has been something else!
