Sitting on the sundeck looking into the canyon behind the house – cactus plants, geraniums, rhamnaceae plants, acacia and eucalyptus trees, jacaranda palms and other vegetation that are all mysteries to me – and I’m filled with peace.
The canyon drops sharply from the deck so although some of the trees are at least 60 feet tall, I am looking at the upper part of them, swaying gently, leaves rustling in the breeze.
