I live in a state that is loathed by many DUers, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. The jasmine is going to bloom anytime now and combined with the salty sea breezes it’s absolutely intoxicating. The clanging of our buoy bell, along with the coastal wildlife….the pines reflecting the sunset on the small lake off of our backyard, it doesn’t get any better.

When it’s raining I sit in my reading nook next to the 3/4 tall and wide window, taking it all in from inside.
