What's outside of your picture window today?

@kilh We do have awesome views. Our house gets the sunrise into the kitchen, and sunset in the livingroom! We are surrounded in this valley by timber, so I never have to buy "pine scented" spray, just walk outside! An added plus is the trees on our property are some old pine trees, as well as ones on the adjoining empty lots.
At 6a.m. this morning we were 30 degrees, and dry. It did not get into the 40s until 11a.m. and then only mid-40s as the day's high. As soon as the sun starts to descend it cools down considerably. At times it seems we have a singular system, in that getting weather reports south of us 30 miles doesn't match, and neither do the reports from north. Our town is kind of situation on a north slope of a range; our property seems to be open to more sun as we are on north edge of town.

I would love to look out my window and see some real old true pine trees. All we have are cedar and junipers. Neither of them smells like a true pine. And when the snow falls on an old pine tree with its long branches, it is so awesome to see. Most of all the trees around here have lost their leaves. We have a big flowering currant in front that the birds love to sit. Sometimes I can 20 birds sitting here and thereamong the branches. I do stand and watch them out of my kitchen window. And when the guard dog is napping and the barn cats are gone, they will swoop down and eat some cat food. And fly away quickly.
Your Valley sounds like a nice quiet place to live. Hope you all are safe and well. KLH
