There is something special about the Texas Hill Country when the seasons shift—especially right along the water. The way the bald cypresses turn that deep copper and russet against the steady flow of the Medina River is hard to beat.
As for a happy place, mine would definitely be anywhere grounded in the outdoors—somewhere quiet enough to hear the water moving, with plenty of room to build, tinker, and watch the light change over the trees. A stretch of riverbank with good shade and open space fits the definition pretty well.
