UPLAND CALIFORNIA - FRONT PORCH -

I use to pass by this house all the time on my way to Mt. Baldy - it's a beautiful house and just feels good looking at it.  The whole area is really nice.  This is more likely called San Antonio Heights - above Upland.   It's been one of those days where the clouds move in front of the sun - then move out again and it warms up, get chilly again and breezy again as it clouds over and this goes on all day.  Really beautiful.  So much rain poured down on us - at least 3".  It was great and looking at future reports the same pattern is setting up next week - basically the same days of rain - after our little warm up over the next few days.   Fall is pretty unpredictable and El Nino will be affecting us quite a bit I believe.








Sometimes a phrase will strike me and I want to remember it.  I think it was Paulo Coelho who wrote the  "Alchemist."  I'm posting this to remind myself to check at our local library for more books by him (he wrote quite a lot).






I saw this on Tumbler and by the time I see something on Tumbler it's been reblogged so many times that once in awhile I can't find the original source, such as now.  Anyway - here is a peaceful scene to enjoy.  I would love to walk on that path.

Beautiful quotes, Sandy and another gorgeous home as well. I hope El Nino brings rain to all of you, but not too much at one time. I remember what that was like.

xo,
rue

thanks Rue. I have a feeling we are going to get "soaked" big time - ....We need it - but gentle rains would be great too so houses don't fall off the cliffs.. This will be the first time I've lived in the mountains during an el nino. We already had rock slides with this last rain - nothing big but a reminder that mountains have rock slides and once in awhile a big one comes down. We will stay off Rim highway as much as possible at these times.

Loved everything about your posting today! The quotes, the house that reminds me of a couple in SLO and in Paso and that path! That is so beautiful and it would be like walking in Heaven! Again, thanks for putting that photo up of Randy...prayers, white light, healing energies and thoughts...it all can only help! It is so appreciated, and I love when someone who is commenting here includes a prayer for Randy or healing thoughts!
