Home Sweet Home

When I come home from work, I never know what might be lurking in my yard. This guy was the size of a dinner plate and we found him crawling around on our driveway at dusk. We snapped some photos for our kids (We were hoping they would see this and miss home. It worked, they are both driving home for a visit this week!) then returned this huge reptile to the river.

My mother-in-law is visiting from Orange County and was quite surprised to see this turtle. In addition, yesterday in Three Rivers she saw: wild turkey, a family of wild pigs, a bobcat and the cutest baby quail. Also, she was witness to evidence of a bear visit( he raided our trash can during the night).

Tonight I think I will invite her to have a camp out with me in our back yard. Who knows, as we lay under the stars we might have unexpected visitors slither across our legs!

New York Times!

Last Tuesday one of our Three Rivers listings was featured in the New York Times! Due to that feature, Team Diana has been experiencing a flurry of real estate activity. Many people from across the country and even Canada are scheduling visits to check out Three Rivers real estate.

All with whom we have spoken to are looking for a private getaway in a unique setting. Three Rivers is just that! There are so many amazing, beautiful homes that overlook the river or that are tucked away into a wooded landscaping.

We look forward to the opportunity to acquaint prospective buyers with our beloved area!

Random Acts Of Kindness

Occasional yard sales in Three Rivers are a social event. At 7 am this morning these hosts of a yard sale greeted their shoppers with a smile. Not only that, they had fresh coffee and delicious, warm pancakes waiting for all of their guests.

Tonight as my daughter and I were driving home from my mom's house ( who, by the way, made the best tacos in the universe), we noticed something curious on the side of the road. As we approached we were astonished to see a one man band parked on the highway. He had his own party going on with elaborate music and twinkle lights hooked to his trailer.

Well, we could not resist. So, we pulled over and enjoyed this man's entertainment. As we applauded each song, he replied with a honk of some sort from one of those electric instruments.

As the sun set, we visited with other observers. We laughed, swayed to the music, then waved goodbye.

Thank you Mr. Music Man for proving once again that there is no place like home.

Take Time To Smell The Roses

We have a sweet life in Three Rivers!

Last week my husband and I spent the afternoon in our backyard on lounge chairs, enjoyed a glass of wine and basked in the sun. As we regaled each other with stories from our work week, we began to unwind. Shortly thereafter our conversations drifted from politics, to the weather to what we were going to prepare for dinner.

It was as though we were on a vacation ourselves. Our dog, Berkeley, joined us "on vacation" as we enjoyed dips in the river and dried off on the warm rocks.

A highlight of the day was watching the river rafters journey by us. Their shouts of glee were such a thrill. It is always a pleasure to see other people enjoying Three Rivers. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful, peaceful place.
