Thought: I always have this quandary....

I always have this pleasant quandary....

******* When it rains...................

Whether to grab the umbrella and walk up to the Mission Knoll, capture the rain drops dripping from the tile roof, the soaked humming on the pomegranate bough, the clouds draping the house atop the hill....

or

To stay indoor, grab a fiction, with a cup of steaming tea, and listen to the sound of rumbling clouds...

or curl on the bed with hot coffee...

*******

When autumn presides.........

Whether to go leaf peeping, scan through the canopy of sweetgum and sycamore for that magical tint of red,yellow, orange, rust....

or

To stay home, brew a pot of orange and cinnamon and bask in its aroma, sit by the window-side table with a mug of hot drink, and watch the old pear shed its senile leaves while listening to Doris Day song "The falling leaves drift by window"...

*******

When winter reigns.........

Whether to drive up to the mount Palomar, soak in the freshness of snows and conifer scent, go for an energizing hiking and lunch below a massive oak, watching the antics of chipmunk.......

or

To get buried under layers of comforters, head wrapped in a woolen cap, and browse the Internet, virtually  visiting not only Palomar but all possible wildest places in Earth...

Whatever the heart settle on...its for sure a win-win situation....
