The "hills near my office"
were green like a velvet carpet was spread on them (ok, now THAT is too poetic for me). And I was awed again and again. So much so that a couple days later I took my camera
to work and actually took some pictures, the clouds perched on top
of the hills and the whole scene from my building looking like I was in a movie studio. I was awed, yes, again. I thought, wow! Hills as an added bonus, I can't complain. And I thought, if after a couple years I still feel the same way about this place and hills, then I will write about it someplace..Soon the hills grew brown, what a contrast to Wisconsin! In WI all is brown and white in winter and greeeeeeeen and gorgeous in the summer. But CA was greenest best in Jan-March, the so-called "winter". The rain brings with it loads of greenery to these hills and the summer just dries them up, poor souls!
So, anyway, its been a couple years, and I still love the green look of the winter on the mountains. As an added bonus last year and this, we saw snow perched on the hills in the back. Its a most amazing sight, you have to see it to believe it. In the 10 minute drive from home to work, about 6 mins I forget that I am actually going to work;) It feels like I am driving around on a vacation:D The green hills, the clouds perched on them and the snow-caps at the back. Especially when it rains or is misty, its a sight to see. Soon I will take my camera again and get the snow-caps this time. Especially now that its raining and we have good misty weather often. Yeah, I HATE snow, make no mistake about it, but atop a hill, there is nothing to beat that beauty:) I admit!
And pretty much, I love going to work, and I mostly don't have Monday-blues, so truly, I go to work in PARADISE!!!!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
