Let the mountains talk, let the river run There's a wisdom here, there is much to learn There's much to know, much to understand In this healing time all across the land You have heard my songs, oh so many years You have laughed with me, washed away my tears You have shared my joy, you have felt my pain In this healing time, walk with me again Through these darker days on this narrow line Help me find my way, help me see the signs I am not afraid, I am not alone You have taught me well, you have brought me home Let the mountain speak, let the rivers run As the world awakes to the rising sun In each brand new day, in our own rebirth In this healing time on our mother earth

 Always a pleasure when the weekend is over and no crowds are at the lake.

 

 When we visit the central coast, especially Pismo Beach up to San Luis Obispo area and beyond,  I love driving through the wide open spaces a little bit inland where there are  many vineyards and ranches  in the area.   I feel a bit nostalgic lately because we won't be going up there over Thanksgiving like usual   due to  Covid and so many places being closed.  

 I was reading about the Lake Hughes fire today, which is north of Los Angeles and every year for the past three years i believe, there has been a fire in one of the mountain ranges as we travel from our area to the Central Coast.   In our area but not in the mountains here, there has been the Apple Fire - another destructive fire burning through the forests that is still not totally contained.   

Hope all is well in your world.  We are having monsoonal type weather whcih brings not only heat but lots of humidity and in some places thunder storms.
