A Peaceful Valley Sunday----Potd---

This is where I indeed, do live!
With many churches, to support and which to give.  

Murder is a most rare occurrence here.
No riots, no drunks, walking about, slugging down a beer.

Trees are luscious green, all year round.
Flowers grow in lovely silence, not uttering a sound.

Bunnies, opossums, cats at happy play.
Would that our world were as sweet, as this peaceful valley Sunday!

Come on down!!! It is peaceful,Arturo. I have never lived in a place where neighbors wave to each other, even if they don't know one another! Quiet is a must here and enforced by City Cdde. No bothering a fellow neighbor with noise. The Police will come out.)). I lived in nutso cities for years! HUGS, Pangie. Xx

There is still peace in many places!.Richard! Alas, talk shows, comics, and tbe news make the USA ugly. As if other countries had zero problems? Trust me,,I know many places like my city. We will never be on the news. Joy, serenity, peace are hardly newsworthy. Turn news off, listen to your FAV music. Read classical poetry....Dr, Panagiota.)) be careful what you listen to!! Honored by your visit, greatly! Hugs, Pangie Have a beautiful day

Welcome, Paulette to the party! And to the utopian oasis. I have searched for decades to find this place! It's quite real. I had it in my my mind, like a picture, decacades ago. I had to stumble from the Midwest to the West Coast to find it. This was a dream of mine that became reality. Thank you for visiting. Hugs, Pangie xx

My dream your reality Pangie, but for now I must reside in the city, someday perhaps I can write a fantastic scenic poem about my home surrounds, but for now I must earn it, just like you did, congratulations on potd, cheers David

I lived, David in Chicago, L.A, and San Francisco. Glad to be out of them. Things were getting violent. I had a daughter to raise, so we left! Best choice I ever made. When I fist saw what it was lime to live without madness, I literally cried. People on buses were civil and to sleep in peace was magnificent, Thank you for being big of heart...to stop by.
