Second Year

Published by at 11:18 am under Country Life,Dogs,Family,Schatzi

Today marks the second anniversary of my moving to Hooterville.

What better way to celebrate the occasion than a walk with my sister and Schatzi on the headlands of the Village?

Come on, let’s go!

Here’s the Village. If it weren’t for the cars, it could be the 1800s:

Here you can see the remains of a dock. Because of the rocky shoreline, loggers and visitors had to basically zipline from the ship to the shore, standing on a tiny wooden platform. I’ve seen pictures of Victorian ladies doing it with an air of surprising insouciance.

Schatzi wasn’t quite as interested in the view as I was:

I tried to capture how her brindle looked like the fall grasses in the sunlight. Also her beautiful smile:

I feel so lucky to live somewhere so beautiful:

And to share my life with such wonderful family, friends, dogs, and cats.

    You truly are blessed with beauty all around you, it’s so nice to hear that you are proud to show all and more important, you have others around you that appreciate such surroundings, thanks for the ride, two years already, wow.

    I love photos of Victorians doing decidedly-unVictorian activities… can’t imagine ziplining in a corset and skirts though!

    I love the dramatic shoreline. Hope we get to see the California coast one day.

    I’m pretty sure that if it wasn’t for the ocean, Hooterville would be considerably less tolerable than it is! 😉 It really is spectacular!

    Well, this isn’t Hooterville – it’s the fancy tourist village about 15 minutes’ drive from Hooterville. But Hooterville has its own charm. 🙂

    I cannot IMAGINE how tough it was to live up here in the Victorian days – and in corsets, yet!

    Such a beautiful area and aren’t you all fortunate to have such wonderful walks.
    Can’t believe that 2 years has passed already….
