<br />i know....
<br />you can hear them squealing right??
<br />:)
<br />
<br />...for some reason today i have hilltops on my mind...
<br />tall
<br />steep
<br />colorful
<br />flowered
<br />&
<br />clover covered
<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;">* hills *</span>
<br />
<br />have you ever watched a dog run down a hill?
<br />they do it full of as much
<br />joy & bliss
<br />...as little kids rolling down a hill...
<br />giggling
<br />&
<br />belly laughing
<br />the
<br />..whole way down..
<br />anticipating
<br />the
<br />dizzy.. topsy-turvy walk
<br />when they finally
<br />stand up!
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">** I LOVE IT **</span>
<br />
<br />also
<br />love the view from
<br />..an attic..
<br />a top floor bedroom
<br />a place thats quiet that i can
<br />sit
<br />look out
<br />&
<br />see
<br />forever
<br />&
<br />everyday
<br />..something new..
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">** GOTTA LOVE IT **</span>
<br />

<br />was surrounded by trees
