I had taken my family up to Stampede Reservoir a few days ago.
I took my mother up to see it yesterday.
We also took Hana so she could enjoy the new sights and smells of the mountains.
Stampede Reservoir is just a short and pleasurable 30 minute drive from Reno.
On our way back home from Stampede Reservoir.
My mother relaxing in her backyard after coming home from Stampede Reservoir.
The waterfall you hear in this video was in no way enhanced.
The waterfall was designed to naturally enhance the sound of the water.
It may be heard throughout the yard...
and it greatly enhances the relaxing atmosphere of the yard.
I will soon install lights to highlight her waterfall at night.
I had put together my mother's patio furniture last week.
The chairs are very comfortable...
and they fully and easily rotate and allow some to and fro rocking.
She also has a fire pit...
which we shall use some time soon.
Hana really enjoys the backyard.
I threw 'Sharky' for her.
She loves fetching and running around with it afterwards.
We had moved just two of the chairs and the patio table out for now.
When the weather warms up some more...
we will place all of the furniture out in the open.
I had given my mother this mountain jacket.
It was far too small for me
in the length of the arms...
and in the shoulders...
NOT in the belly :)
It is rugged on the outside...
quilted on the inside...
and has an attached hood.
It is perfect for her to wear whenever we go to the mountains.
My mother and I relaxed and enjoyed the mountain views from her backyard...
with a cup of coffee.
It soon started to get dark outside...
but it was a very relaxing day for us.

There is far more to life than to vegetate in front of a TV all day.
Life only seems too short if a person doesn't fill it with magical times.
It is crucial for elderly people to enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
There is so much to enjoy in the great outdoors...
and in appreciating the outside of your home as much as you do the inside.
We may enjoy so many outdoor places near Reno...
for just the price of gas.
As soon as it warms some more...
we are going to enjoy some meals outside while watching the sunset...
and finishing off the meal with a good cup of coffee
while enjoying a roaring fire in the fire pit.
This simple outdoor patio set...
including the fire pit...
was under $500.00 delivered
(from Home Depot).
The enjoyment my mother shall receive from its usage
will far exceed the minimal cost of this set.
With her being able to fully enjoy her backyard...
she has efficiently doubled her enjoyment of her house.
