These homes must conform to conformity. So even though one could stroll through the maze, it’s pretty boring.<br />My fantasy is to own a little place away from here and nearer to there, wherever that might be. <br />Willits sounds delightful. <br />lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664760701202151470.post-25312905874780361072013-04-06T19:43:37.750-07:002013-04-06T19:43:37.750-07:00Well, that and the price of real estate.....Well, that and the price of real estate.....Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664760701202151470.post-15018070581369862822013-04-06T19:42:31.552-07:002013-04-06T19:42:31.552-07:00There are strong similarities between Willits and ...There are strong similarities between Willits and Sebtown. I can walk or bicycle everywhere: work, the hippie grocery store, the sorta hippie grocery store, the big corporate grocery store, the library, post office, bookstore, several restaurants and music venue, the farmers' market and lots of friends' homes. Neighborhood walks invariably lead to smiles, waves, and conversation. If you want some solitude, head to the back trails at Ragle - you will think you are back in the 1850's. The big difference is that we rarely get big time heat - the marine influence means fog, gray, and cool a good chunk of the time all year round. Michael likes that cool stuff but I find it de-energizing and depressing. But it is the biggest price I have to pay to live in an otherwise ideal place.Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664760701202151470.post-67354443858442016942013-04-06T18:33:52.898-07:002013-04-06T18:33:52.898-07:00It sounds lovely - especially the walking part :)It sounds lovely - especially the walking part :)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917139752555698353noreply@blogger.com
