Love!

Something I love about where we live is the location. I love sitting on the front porch or the deck in silence, just enjoying being outside. I like to watch the birds, if they're around, but most of the time I just sit there in silence like an old person, watching the trees sway and clouds go by.

Some might find this boring, I'm sure, but I think it is quite relaxing and something that not too many of us do anymore. Our lives just keep getting more and more cluttered to the point where we forget about this great green earth God gave us (try saying that five times fast, haha) and don't "stop and smell the roses." I advise you to try it sometime, and see if you have such an urge to hop back on your computer after sitting outside for a half hour.

To give you an idea of it all, I stitched together this panoramic view from yesterday. Maybe you'll love my front yard as much as I do:
