I thought I would share this morning's vista from my school. I am sitting here, at my desk. The kids are out for recess. I am looking out my southern windows. The snow from last week is still covering the ground. There is a windmill a quarter of a mile from the school. I can see it clearly in the sunshine. In the area surrounding the windmill are 18 antelope. They are grazing on the grasses beneath the snow. Scenes like this make it a lot easier to live in the middle of nowhere.

Sounds very nice! I bet those scenes make it worth it, just seeing the occasional deer or armadillo around here amaze me.
No snow here, just a misty rain all weekend. So I get to look out the window and see the highway and a bunch of clouds and gray everywhere.

The windows out of my classroom look upon a beautiful parking lot and a busy street.
and now if I listen,
at this time of night,
I can hear the sound
of waves crashing and the wind rolling across the beach.
6 months ago the waves crashed into my backyard,
regardless of the 23 feet it had to climb
to make my 2 blocks from the beach
water-front property.
I look past the window
and ignore the destruction
only to look for
regrowth
of the hibiscus flowers
who, in vibrant red
scream...
We have arrived.
