What's it like where you live?

[Not Normal]

No, you weren't dreaming. That plan is still being considered. I just couldn't bring myself to leave my daughter. She's an adult now but the thought of leaving her.....I still don't know what is going to happen, NN.

Ah. I'm sure you'll do what's right for you.

I have seen Muriel's Wedding, a number of times. It has a wonderful ending.

I enjoy the wildlife, the trees, and peace, where I am. Boston is close, nearby. Best of both worlds.

I live deep in a dark, magical forest in the mountains of northern California.

Somewhere between the Trinity Alps.

If I hike up my mountain I can see both B\

Hillbilly hippies are my people.

Cool. I've got both the sea and ski within a 1/2 hour of each other.

We (hubby and I. The younger kids come and go with university, the older kids have their own families) live in a brick home in a semi rural area.

Surrounded by native trees like pohutukawa and manuka. I have my own beehives, large vege garden, fruit trees including several feijoa trees that I grafted from my grandparents feijoa tree and we wake up to the sound of tui, singing and other native birds welcoming the day.

One of our resident Tui birds is called Mimic. He's not tame but has made our property homebase and can mimic the phone ringing, coughs, whistles and clicks.

A drive into town is only five min, 12 mins to the beach where we swim, dive and fish weekly.

It's quiet, beautiful and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

That really does sound idyllic.

Yay for trying to save the bees

Yea, I do miss WA some days.

It's temperate. For the most part, it's stunningly beautiful. Coastlines. Parks. Architectural intrigue.

There are also plenty of eyesores and the juxtaposition of homelessness against unfathomable wealth. They say you get used to it, but I haven't.

I quite like my immediate neighborhood. Lots of fun places, great views. Plenty hilly, which is good for dat ass.
