In the Country

Country living.

I can only imagine
In my wildest dreams

How life can be very different
Then what it seems

Because here in the city
On the upper East Coast

Life is very different
From all the southern folks

Beautiful and rocky scenic mountains
Lakes that create natural water fountains

Tiny pebbles and a sparkling stream
Where you can sit and just daydream

Clear skies and lots of wonderful trees
A family of bears and some bumble bees

Cutting wood for your fireplace
So no fuel goes to waste

Gardens of colorful flowers
Planted with love and care

And giving them out to those
Who attend the county fair

Eating grits and baking bread from scratch
And homemade cookies by the batch

Ho-downs, quads, and pick-up trucks to
Things in everyday life
That provide joy and fun for you

Flannel shirts and hiking boots
A large family tree with twining roots

Neighbors who are few and far away
So you can have a lovely quiet day

Clearer air during a star filled evening
All for improved and healthier breathing

Not here
Not in the city
But one can dream....

So very soothing and delightfully written. Life between country and city does have its differences, but people I find are the same everywhere...

Be safe,
Karen

Yes, Staci. One can dream. I am fortunate to live where it is very quiet although it is only minutes from the malls. Thank you for sharing these sentiments. Love and best wishes,

Regis

All this is yours for the taking - just bring some of the down home Southern hospitality and food into your home. It can happen.
