Greening Hills

Wow, this week has gone by quickly! It hardly seems like a week ago that we were wrapping up our visit with Jen, Fok and the kids. Been a busy week for us both.

The weather right now is really nice for doing almost anything outside... high of about 63 today with blue skies and sunshine. We went for a hike over the hill to the lake late this morning... beautiful! One of the odd things about living here is how, just as trees are dropping their leaves and preparing for the gray winter look in much of the country, the dry hills here, responding to the beginning of the rainy season (such as it is), are starting to green up. Here's what we saw after cresting the hill and descending to the lake.
