Getting Real

A lazy summer day of just chilling on the Cal Campus

 

Move to Nashville

 Well I've officially moved to Nashville, Tennessee. First words that comes to mind - Green and wildlife. 

So far seen adult deer with antlers, without antlers, and fawns all in my backyard and front yard. Lots of turkey including baby turkeys, a few birds including cardinals. bluebirds and blackbirds. The baby deer did a happy dance on the lawn after the rains and ran back and forth on the lawn playing. Its  hot (kinda) but also rains quite a bit so everything turns green. Towering tall trees. Going for early morning hikes at Percy Warner Park near by. 

So far.... nice....

Nashville is Hot
