Nothing Like a Great Hike in Your Own Backyard!

Well, what can I say? We are blessed to live here. Enjoy the photos of our "backyard"

Our immediate backyard is now full of a ton of grapes, they are not quite ripe yet and we are not sure what to do with them when they are! Any ideas?


The ever present wallabies in the fields.

A little perspective on the size of some of the trees on the hill behind the house.

Susan and Buddha on a walk, following the cow trail on the ridge.

The old barn behind the house on the hill. If you notice, off to the right, there is a water tank. This is part of our water supply and it goes from the metal roof to the gutters, into the tank...to our house to drink!

A beauty of a mango tree! Just a 5 minute hike from the house and covered with many hundreds of mangos!! The cows eat any and all that are within their reach. That is OK with me, there are enough for all of us. YUMMMMMM!

Evening mist over Sphinx Rock.

Our view from the hill behind our house..... what can I say? Heaven!



Literally, this is our backyard. I keep looking for Bilbo Baggins!
