However, perhaps it will grow and flourish and actually become something interesting. I am originally from a very beautiful place in North Central Washington, in Okanogan County, outside of the town of Tonasket, Washington, very near to a little hamlet called Havillah. It is nestled in the highlands at the bottom of Mount Boneparte. Havillah really is the sort of place that one might miss if eyes were to be closed at the moment, but it truely is a treasure in and of itself. When I was little I spent hours sitting out by our mailbox, reading the mail, and just enjoying how simply beautiful it all is.
Antoine creek flows briskly along the south part of the scene, fringed with alders and dogwoods.
Further away aspens grow, their massive root systems extending into the wetter pockets of the semi arid highlands. Their leaves tinkle together like so many tiny coins, in every season, changing from pale green to darker to brilliant yellows and oranges in the fall. Above the creek, tree covered hills rise, rising further as our gaze moves further to the east where Mt. Boneparte rises from the rolling hills, her two arms cradleing the small highland settlement. The north is edged with tawny hills, Bimetalic, Nob Hill, School Mountain and Brown Mountain, each standing guard, keeping the promises of the ages. They can always use your support, so go check out their website.
