We live in a narrow valley, nearly at the bottom, next to a creek.  There is not much in the way of civilization around us, but we don&#8217;t have miles of open country in our view.  The hill that shows up in so many of my <a href=\"http:\/\/dlynz.blogspot.com\/2007\/12\/nice-morning-for-pictures.html\">photos<\/a> is on the other side of our valley and I&#8217;ve been watching it change from one day to the next for the past 25 years.  Larry has been watching it since he was 3, because we live just up the road from the house in which he grew up.  Right up there just a bit:<a href=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_8YuevXJXjqg\/R5Zk1hxPhAI\/AAAAAAAAAoo\/YNvvUU-3h6Y\/s1600-h\/front_01_22_early.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp1.blogger.com\/_8YuevXJXjqg\/R5Zk1hxPhAI\/AAAAAAAAAoo\/YNvvUU-3h6Y\/front_01_22_early.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158421293960233986\" \/><\/a> <br \/>This is my view with my morning coffee in the winter:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_8YuevXJXjqg\/R5ZlJxxPhBI\/AAAAAAAAAow\/g_mCUqkkb_w\/s1600-h\/back_01_22.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_8YuevXJXjqg\/R5ZlJxxPhBI\/AAAAAAAAAow\/g_mCUqkkb_w\/back_01_22.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158421641852584978\" \/><\/a>It is in the opposite direction and in the summer, when there are leaves on the trees, we can&#8217;t see toward that end of the valley at all.  <\/p>\n<p>I swear, I could look at the sky all day long.<a href=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_8YuevXJXjqg\/R5ZmBxxPhCI\/AAAAAAAAAo4\/6Bh96GFCUGk\/s1600-h\/front_01_22.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp2.blogger.com\/_8YuevXJXjqg\/R5ZmBxxPhCI\/AAAAAAAAAo4\/6Bh96GFCUGk\/front_01_22.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158422603925259298\" \/><\/a><br \/>But that would look stupid and I would get a crick in my neck from looking up for so long and the neighbors already think I am odd enough and I have a lot of stuff to do, so I guess I will have to confine my sky gazing to a little while each day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of people around the wonderful world of blogs do a thing called Wordless Wednesday.
