LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – I'm fairly certain that all who reside in bountiful Lake County hold a list of reasons for loving it here.
Fall's frosty mornings and kaleidoscopic color that lights up the hillsides, orchards and vineyards with burgundy, scarlet and golden tones never ceases to amaze me.
All of the spent foliage drifting down creates a pleasant tang of decomposition that contributes to the ongoing cycle of life.
We all welcome winter's gray overtones, recognizing that darkened skies mean relief as rain soaks the landscape and creates a bubbling song in each stream.
Spring's season inspires hope and joy with its abundant life and luminosity.
Then, roots and shoots; new life in all of its glory envelops us with tantalizing promise.
Before we know it, the long, lazy days of hot summer months lure us to the shimmering and vital lake, where it's brimming with life.
The longer I live in Lake County, the more grateful I become.
