Breathtaking views

November 22, 2007

I love where we live. From our backyard we have an excellent view of the Golden Ears peaks. It constantly amazes me that mountains can look different everyday. This morning was a rare treat. It was clear, cold and crisp. There was a thin line of cloud below the peaks but the peaks themselves were completely unobstructed with fresh snow.

I love the mountains. Growing up in Calgary we lived within an hour of the mountains could frequently see them. We spent a great deal of time in the mountains as kids (hiking and cross-country skiing which I hated and would be a topic for another blog!!!). Deb loves the ocean like I love the mountains. This is really the perfect place for us to live as Deb can get to the ocean and I can see mountains.

So in spite of my 2-3 hour daily commute I would not choose to move from here. Coming home to the peace and quiet of the country and the beautiful view we have is soul satisfying.
