Your post reminds me of being back East where I grew up. Not like the city I live in today.I moved to California, going on 9 years ago, and have been in the city the entire time. It's so nice to hear stories from people from areas that are out in the country where the land is open and free and the trees stand tall and the animals are free to roam. I know some people have never lived in the country and see many aspects of it as inconvenient, but I will always call it home. A goal for my husband and I one day, is to move away from the city and out where the land is and to be able to appreciate nature and it's beauty.
