Outdoor Wednsday...

Today I thought I would show you the view of our little town...


we are going up this little hill, see the road in the middle of the hill...


almost there...


its 10:00 and its already 95 degrees, when its hot in the San Joaquin Valley our air quality is bad, you can see it...if you click to enlarge you can see the old water tower, that is the middle of town...



most all of the groves of trees you see are oranges, there still is a few olive groves...






thanks for visiting and have a wonderful week.


Happy Outdoor Wednsday, and thanks Susan from A Southern Daydreamer for hosting.

    I love to see the places where other people live. I'm in the PNW and our weather is much different than yours. I'm actually wearing a sweat shirt this morning :-). Have a wonderful day and enjoy the holiday weekend. Blessings...Mary

    HAPPY OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY STEFANIE
    Thank you for taking us on a drive to your town...it did seem somewhat barren even though there are orange groves...I can't imagine seeing an orange tree...that would be awesome
    If I don't talk to you again before the 4th of July, have a wonderful holiday of freedom
    Angel hugs

    A lovely drive, I miss seeing the mountains here in Florida. The closest thing we have is the Skyway Bridge :)

    What a great view! You can tell that is hot there. It is different to see the barren land and than see all those groves of green. Thanks for tour and sharing.

    Oh Good Morning Stefanie. Thanks for stopping by and sharing this morning. I loved our drive. I didn't realize you all got so hot there. Your groves are so beautiful and green. Another hot day here in the desert, but I call it home. Take care. "Country Hugs", Sherry

    Been quite hot here also, but we did get a small rain yesterday and the cloud cover is keeping things in the 90's instead of 105 like last week.
    Thanks for sharing and come back any time and cool your toes in the stream by my ;-) shed.

    Thanks for showing us your town. It looks very peaceful. And thanks for coming by. The pool is not a ready made fiberglass. It was built...Have a Happy Independence Day!...Christine

    Thanks for sharing the photos of your town. I have never been to California. At least I can see what it is like. Happy OW.

    I love seeing & learning more about where people live. It is still much greener where you live than down here in southern California. And the air quality gets bad here too when it heats up. All of LA's smog blows inland to where I live. Cough, cough!! Thanks for visiting my blog & leaving me a comment.

    It must smell wonderful when all those orange trees are in bloom!

    Hi Stefanie! Boy that countryside looks familiar. We were in Clovis for a wedding on Saturday and then drove to Seattle. I think it ended up being 108 on Saturday and hotter on Sunday Yikes! Stay cool!!

    Doing OW always makes me feel like I am traveling on vacation every Wednesday. Love the photos and the fields are fabulous. Have a great OW!

    Hi Stefanie. What beautiful land. This is the part about blogging I love. We know these places exist, but putting folks with the actual towns, valleys, mountains, etc., makes it surreal. Thanks so much for sharing, and thanks for visiting my blog and your kind comments! Take care...Crystal

    I love getting tours of other people's hometowns! Especially when the landscape is so different from our own in New Jersey -- where we have close together hills and valleys, covered with trees -- we don't get those wide vistas that you get!

    Thanks for sharing

    It does look hot just from the photos! We're not quite at 95 by 10am, but get there during the day.

    Hi Stefanie,

    What a great post...nice to see your little town and the photos are lovely! I love all the wide open spaces. It used to be like that where I live and a few years back they started developing a ton of cookie cutter neighborhoods.

    Thanks for sharing your town!

    Hugs, Karyn

    It may be hot and dusty but I LOVE the San Joaquin Valley because we get all of our wonderful produce from those dear heart farmers. I'm grateful every time I drive down I-5 for each and every one of them! What town are you in?

    Thanks for stopping by on Outdoor Wednesday!
