Walk in the woods, play a game of croquet, jog the winding country lane, enjoy the serenity and pure mountain air. Listen to the beautiful redbirds who are quite vocal, or be lulled by the sounds of hummingbirds whirring by. You’ll see hawks hovering over and maybe the occasional deer or fox or wild turkeys who frequent the property. Listen to the howls of coyotes in the distance. Smell the juniper trees and mountain laurels, the jasmine ivy. It’s such an antidote from city living and will leave you restored and at peace.
