Granted, we have had rain and thunderstorms every day for what feels like years. Everything is soggy (and frizzy!) but lush. I still find myself missing San Francisco but I remember how much I ached for a great, big thunderstorm outside my window. This area is pretty fabulous. We have seasons and just about anything you could want within a 2 hour drive – mountains, beaches, cities, countrysides.
Just the other week I went to a balloon festival. There was a band singing country covers songs, fair food (I had my first fried oreo. and then another.), a piglet adoption tent, families on grass-stained quilts, and little kids with bare feet running all over the place. It was a pretty awesome night and I felt lucky that I live in a place that has the opportunity for happy, random excursions like the Chester County Balloon Festival.
It was a nice, lazy, weightless night to sit and watch the colorful hot air balloons float up into the big country sky. First one, then about a dozen. Life is good.
