Country Living in the City

One of the biggest surprises to living here in the SF Bay area with all of the conveniences of a major city is that we live a sort of country life, sort of.

As we look over the fence of our backyard, what do we see in the (sometimes) green rolling hills? Goats!

Lots of lots of goats.

And deer. And coyotes too, but I haven't been able to get a picture of one of those yet. They move too fast!

Nearby, they're even chickens that cross the road...don't ask.

We've even seen and caught some lizards, some big ones.

Well, Andrew has. Not everyone is brave enough for that (or fast enough!).

Plus, we can even forage for wild blackberries. Who knew that Norcal was so pastoral?
