It's a brown, brown world

This weekend my husband Derek took us on a trip to San Jose and let me tell you this it was brown everywhere.  The only places that were green were the peoples yards and any where they were growing crops.  The city we live in is surrounded by mountains. I have been told that in the spring it gets a lot greener.  There were probably hundreds of wind turbines along the mountain side and they raise cattle all along the hills. We came to an end of a road surrounded by these dry brown hills and staring back at me is this huge patch of green which I think is a vineyard.  It was crazy to see since I did not think that anything could get that green out here.

The weather has been great here with this blue, blue Sky and most of the time not even a cloud. It has been hot here but it does not feel the same. The other day it was 103 degrees outside and surprising you we were able to be outside for an extended amount of time without feeling the heat the same way as the humidity would effect you at home.  The on downfall to the nice dry heat is the dust. The car right now is completely covered in dust.

Today we did another drive to start to narrow down our house hunt and we think we might be on the right path to grinding a house in a desirable neighbourhood.
