Camp Verde, AZ to be exact. Andiloveit.
Let me tell you why.
1. Wide open spaces.
Only 3,000 people live in Camp Verde.
This is the view from the backyard. I live with my aunt and uncle on 1 1/2 acres.
2. I see more animals than people.
This is Horse. I have no idea what his name is, but he is sweet. I scratch his head every evening on my walk. There are three other horses and some goats I visit on my walk, but I will tell you about them another day.
3. The storms. We have monsoons, or torrential summer rains with thunder and lightning. The tell tale sign of an impending storm is this creeking wind mill. It is so beautiful outside after it rains.
4. Abundant fresh produce everywhere.
Everyone thinks Arizona is 100% nasty desert. It's not true, people. I live in a green beautiful farming community with fresh produce everywhere. I pick grapes and apples on my daily walk. I go by the farms to pick my own tomatoes, onions, and garlic.
In case anyone was wondering, I'm never moving back.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to drop by Hauser and Hauser Farms to pick some corn for Sunday dinner.
Much love,
Ellen
