Beauty All Around

This is the view from my car window, driving down the canyon from my house towards Provo/Orem:

I am almost always a bit distracted by this view when I'm driving.  Luckily the road is never too busy.

This is the view from my front porch:

Those irises came from my father's garden.  He got them from my sister Melissa's husband, who got them from his own father.  They are beautiful!  And no, I have no grass in my front yard.  I like it very much :) but it is less comfortable on bare feet than grass.

Yesterday, after getting up early (before 7am) and doing all the household stuff, I spent an hour on my porch, looking at that lovely view and knitting.
