I grew up in the small town of Sweet Home on the west side of Oregon. It is so beautiful and green there that I was worried that my move to La Grande in eastern Oregon for college would be a landscape disappointment. I was very pleasantly surprised to find out that, while so different from what I was used to, it held a rugged beauty that I loved as much as that I'd grown up with. A move from the Grande Ronde Valley to Reno filled me with the same concerns. How could I leave the mountains, trees, lakes and rivers that I knew and loved so well?
Once again...pleasant surprise! Northern Nevada is beautiful! Admittedly, there aren't as many trees as I'm used to. But the high desert terrain is gorgeous and provides a stark contrast to the high blue skies that we have over three hundred days per year. I'm beginning to learn (only took me forty-some years!) that beauty is everywhere if you open your heart and mind to it.
If you'd like more information about the beautiful Truckee meadows just let me know!
