Animals that we saw on our Sunday drive:
Magpies
Goats
Horses
Wild Horses (in pens)
Deer (they are a dime a dozen.)
Sheep
Hawk
Chickens
Llama
Bald Eagle
Buffalo (not wild)
And probably some others. Sure, most of those were not wild animals. But the Bald Eagle was the 2nd in 2 days. Pretty awesome.
We like to think that it is our habit to take Sunday drives after church, but in reality, it’s been a long time since we’ve taken the time to explore. (And let’s be honest here. We actually skipped church to take this drive. But only because we arrived late at church and our church is SO awkward to walk into late and it usually means that we can’t sit together.)
When we do make the time, we try to take a few essentials:
1. Altimeter
Just because it’s fun to see the elevation changes that we are making.
2. Northern California Atlas & Gazetteer
It has maps of back roads and dirt roads, but unfortunately this weekend it led us astray. It listed roads that do not exist and others that were gated off by the landowners, presumably. We were disappointed, but someday when the roads are not so muddy, we will find the way through.
3. Camera (since mine broke, we were using Jason’s old 2.0 megapixel camera, and I was pleasantly surprised with the pictures.)
4. Food. Always an essential.
Since I am still a newcomer to this county, I love exploring and getting to know where the roads lead. Probably a symptom of my wanderlust.
My name is Rhonda. I am blessed to live in a beautiful place out in the country with my wonderful husband. In addition to our "real" jobs (I work at a garden center and he is a teacher), we have a small farm where we raise vegetables, eggs and chickens to sell at local Farmer's Markets. We are currently fixing up/remodeling a house into which we will soon be moving...hopefully. In my free time, (what is that?) I enjoy traveling, cooking, crafty projects, reading and watching the sun set on the hills.
