Five million people live in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Unbelievable!
That’s WAY too many people for us. Our Happy Place is to be alone, surrounded by nature and silence, except for the sounds of wildlife….coyotes howling and yipping during the night, birds singing for all the world to hear, elk bellowing as they call for a mate, javelina grunting as they dig out roots and herd their little babies to safety, and the silence of bear and mountain lions stalking their prey.
Four or five days a week we head out in the dark to take a pre-dawn hike from our home in Leisure World. Leisure World is surrounded by endless miles of businesses, freeways, and row upon row of homes in the middle this gargantuan metropolitan region. We are seeking our place of peace, our Happy Place.
And, surprisingly, every morning we find what we are seeking before the world awakens…..right here in Leisure World!
In our private park a vast array of birds live with us. These are just a few of the birds that sing to us as the morning breaks and all through the day….our world is alive with the sounds of bird music!
Together, we share these spectacular morning…..all alone in our private park. And this is what we get to see as we head home!
Tomorrow morning we will hold each other, look into our love’s eyes, and dance, dance, dance. We are blessed to have found our soul mate.
