When Wednesday Walking makes you Wish you were Wealthy! lol

This is a post for one of my favorite people on the blockchain - @tatoodjay! He hosts the Wednesday Walk community and project - and has partnered with @elizacheng and the Make Me Smile Challenge - and if you're not doing this? YOU SO SHOULD BE!

Why?

Because... it gets you out of the house, and active, and just taking time to smile and smell the roses. or the freshly cut grass. or the scents of the restaurants around you - or whatever! It's the best way to marry offline life with online life - and bring us along with you!

So, today is a bit different! hehehe If you know me, you know that I like to do things differently!!! So this is a walk around a lovely estate! We work at a wonderful camp - and several times a year, the Board will host events to show their care and love for us. One of those - was the Staff Appreciation Dinner at the Chairman of the Board's home. Every year, I just think... wow. What a home! hehehe

Now you might think that the would be hoity toity! But they aren't at all. I believe they are one of the top 3 stone-fruit producers in the world. Stone fruits are your nectarines, apricots, peaches, plums - etc. Their family has been in the business of producing these fruits for people all over the world - for generations! So when you think of how hard they've worked, and how successful their business has become - it's not hard for me to see that they deserve this lovely home that they have! And I'm so thrilled that they are generous and kind and warm and when we go to their house - I'm not jealous at all! But..... I do wonder and wish what it would be like to be wealthy! hehehehe

Let's take a look at this beautiful estate, shall we? Come along! Know that you are always welcome!!!!

Here we are, pulling up to the gate, and getting ready to walk in. I love how they have taken such care even on the outside of the gate to make a beautiful display of trees and flowers! On both sides of the fence, when you enter - you are greeted by breathtaking arrangements of flora!

This picture below - is just on the inside of the gate and you can see the beautiful trees and bushes, and look how nicely the grass is maintained! This is really a difficult thing to do in the heat of the valley! But their son does a wonderful job keeping the grounds looking so nice! Isn't that cool? Their son has a natural love for expressing his creativity with the grounds, and loves to do this! See what I mean? They aren't hoity toity at all - but a beautiful family that loves to work together as a team to have something of which they can all be proud!

Let's take a walk inside the property! Walk deeper into this property and see what is in store for us in the back yard! hehee

Can you imagine having a paradise for children like this? hehehe Children and grandchildren playing on that playground in the safety of your own home? And take a look at that playhouse! hahahaha I can imagine myself asking Mom and Dad if I could sleep out there at night and pretend to be living on my own! LOL Not sure if they would allow it - but it's worth the shot to ask! 😆

I did want to get a picture of this gorgeous pool without pool toys hahaha BUT - THERE WERE TOO MANY CHILDREN having fun playing! So as soon as they got out - I quick snapped a picture so you could see! But there is a cool waterfall that pours out into the water too. Can't see it here - cuz it wasn't turned on - but it's always so neat to see!

And here.... how about this? Wouldn't you just love to take a nap in the this hidden hammock! Nestled among the trees, and feeling a slight breeze - mmmmm it would just be a delight to be cradled and rocking.... softly to sleep! Want to join me? hehehe

There are little walkways all over the property - manicured and overflowing with beautiful blossoms reaching out to greet you. Don't you just feel like you're in a magical garden??? I do!!

Look at the levels of flowers here. I don't know if I would design something like this! I could see this - and pattern my yard after it - but to just look at how masterfully it's planned out now? I think its just genius to have all those layers of different colors and flowers! And can you see the different animals hidden amongst them? heheheh I won't say what they are... let's see if you see them!

Now it's time to leave our evening, and take a walk out as the sun is setting. I love how you can really tell its the Golden Hour - right? Look at how the sunset just bathes everything in that pretty light!

Last pic - a little bonus one!

I was admiring the car parked on their property - thought it was such a neat little vehicle! Hubby went out and took the picture for me - so I could put it in my Wednesday Walk! hehehehe

I have no idea what kind of car it is! But I think it's really cool!!!

Hope you enjoyed this little wish to be wealthy on Wednesday Walk with me! hahahahaha It's fun to imagine a different life, right? But it's always good to be home, and thankful for the many blessings we already DO have!!!
