I live in the suburbs of San Diego where the yards are measured in acres, sidewalks are in the "newer" areas and our neighbors have horses, chickens and multiple dogs (that's us).
This time of year we all have our fireplaces burning with wood cut from our own fallen trees and we share our picked fruit by hanging bags of tangerines, lemons, limes, avocados (or whatever we have in excess) on each others fences. All this to say, today I'm sharing a card with a woodsy, rustic, nature-loving style (Ok, so I couldn't help myself...there are shiny red pearls on this card).
