We were up bright and early this morning and took a nice little drive, please join us.
Sit back and enjoy.
The sky was cloudy and the weather cool and it was a great day for a drive. We've crossed the river and are headed up and over those foot hills.
The road is a steep, winding road. Guard rails are present every here and there, which is rare in California. As a native 'Flat-lander', the lack of guard rails on the mountain roads here used to bother me, causing anxiety, sweaty palms, and abdominal distress. Now I am just thankful when there's no ice.
This little road curves around through the oaks and pine trees in the hills above the river. Just below the 'snow line', the area gets just a tiny bit of snow each year.
We reach our destination mid-morning and are greeted by these lovely January blooms, brightening the dark cloudy day......
This pair wasn't exactly greeting us; it was more like, "who are you and what do you want?" They checked us out a bit and then casually strolled away. They act like they own the joint....
But they don't..... WE DO! Hurray! We have our 'little log cabin' in the woods.
I am feeling blessed, excited and very overwhelmed. Did I mention excited?

That is a wonderful post. I miss drives in the country so very much and your words brought back so many memories. What a beautiful home.
Oh mom, I'm so EXCITED for you! How wonderful...I bet you can't wait to sit on that front porch and watch the sun rise over YOUR property while sipping a hot mug of tea.
Congratulations on your little log cabin. I can see why you are so excited.
Btw, the no guard rail thing would scare me beyond belief. My heart started racing just reading it!
Oh Wow!!! What a beautiful cabin! Have fun!!!
