My heroine, Amelia, had a room with a view even if it was from her attic bedroom window! When she looked out the tiny attic bedroom, she saw sheep grazing in neighboring pastures. I often long to get out of the suburbs and perhaps one of these days I will. Until then, I have lovely photos to remind me of pleasant days traveling through the countryside in England, Scotland and Ireland.

Right now, here in California, the fields are golden. Come Spring, they will be green again. In the meantime I satisfy my longing for green pastures by enjoying my potted flowers in my little patio.
