Nope
Definitely NOT 
Not so muchBefore I moved to California I really REALLY did not want to live here. From the outside in California looks pretty bad sometimes. Fires, earthquakes, (liberals), (treehuggers), wierdos, San Fransisco, cross-dressers, wierdos, El Nino, gangs, high prices, wierdos, taxes, laws, wierdos...doesn't sound too fun. But, I guess you can be happy wherever you are. You just have to learn to love the little things. Here's some things I love...
I love that everything grows in California and that my garden is going nuts.
I love that I picked a humongous bowl of sweet, crisp sugar-snap peas yesterday and ate them all day plus I had leftovers to take to friends.
I love that we have so much squash that we have an excuse to meet neighbors and take them something. And that they are sick of it, too.
I LOVE the melons that we get. They are like 10 times more sweet than the crumby ones you get at the store.
And I love that there are fruit trees everywhere. Check out these peaches and apricots I got today. There's a small preschool by our house with some fruit trees in it. While walking by there lately I've noticed a bunch of fruit on the ground. So I went and asked if I could pick their fruit and they were happy to let me have as much as I wanted. So I'm making fresh jellies tomorrow and doing some canning (for my first time. I'm such a sweet homemaker.)So I'll post a picture of my cans of delicious jams (I still don't know the difference) sometime later in the week.
Other things I love about Calfornia....We are an hour and 15 minutes from Disneyland, the ocean, the Wild Animal Park, Seaworld, and San Diego; it's gorgeous weather 3/4 of the year; there are lots of members of the church; everyone (else) has a pool; and I can wear men's clothing and a pick stuck in my hair and no one will think I'm out of the strange.
See, California isn't that bad after all.
What do you like about where you live???

First I want to tell you that I'm so jealous of your garden!! I just checked out some gardening books from our library. I have a small space that I want to use, but I think it's a good place to start. You have to give me gardening tips!! Remember I'm a beginner, so I basically know nothing.
Second, I always wanted to move away from Salt Lake, but now I think that it would be really really hard for me to do that. Both our families live here and we see them all the time. I love that!!
I'm jealous too- of your garden!!! Since i live in Texas- I think you KNOW what i love about it:) But- i did love Sacramento when I lived there too!
I like that Texas is the biggest state in the continental US.
Wow your garden is AMAZING. I love sugar snap peas! Yummo! After giving it some thought I came up with a few reasons that I absolutely love where I live: I love my house, I love my community believe it or not but I love the weather (just not that one mo where its way to hot to leave the house), I love that the lake is only 15 m away, I love that everyone is from some where else and that it is a sure conversaion starter. I love that the school buses are free. I love that there are so many LDS people that they are going to build a temple 15 m from my house.
What a great looking buch of fresh fruit and veggies. I wished we lived closer, I would happily be one of your neighbors that benefits from your lovely garden, even if I did get sick of it!
I love my swimming pool, my granddaughters in my ward, my home, air-conditioning, and going to the lake where I can see my children and grandchildren and make happy memories. Papa and I have a good life in Texas.
I don't love my other children and grandkids being so far away:(
Love, G'ma
