Going Green


Things are green, this is strange. My eyes are used to the matted brown tones of desert landscape and the occasional greens of tree lines. Much like my mountain man blood, my eyes must acclimate to this new area. My familiarity of dust and dry heat is currently being overpowered by lush vegetation and moisture...rolling hills of green, bordered by the most hypnotic purple flowers you've ever seen. And the smell! It's amazing! The fragrant smell of the wild flowers that fills my coop while cruisin these san diego suburbs is intoxicating. It definitely beats the long lingering smell of ranch land manure that I suffered through just to get to this point. Well worth it though.

And without a single cloud gracing this blue bird sky, I smile. I'm lucky...to be able to see this candescent landscape, smell the aromatic buds of flowers I can't even name, and simply put...just be alive. Life is good green.

  1. Hi Meredith!

    I couldn't find you on facebook, so I thought I'd post it on here :) I just wanted to say that I thought your video was awesome and that I think it would be great to travel together this summer. Sometimes you can just tell when you would get along with a person really well and I think we would have a hilariously goofy trip!

    I hope you have a great day! and good luck with the interview! When is yours? Mine's on April 1st. I know. April Fools Day. This could get interesting...haha
