roaming the countryside


“I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why thunder lasts longer
than that which causes it, and why immediately on its creation the lightning becomes visible to the eye
while thunder requires time to travel. How?” - Leonardo da Vinci

rich life

everything has its time

When I pass by an old barn I can't help but think about all the life it use to hold, 
all the heart that was poured into keeping it up and running. But time has a way 
of wearing everything down, if you don't pay attention to it.

Did I ever mention...I love barns, oh yeh, I think I may have once or twice. Haha. Well today I had a little time on my hands after work, so I set out to discover some of those beautiful buildings I love so much. I didn't have to look far, being that I live in the boonies I just had to drive down a couple dirt roads. These are some of my favorite pics from the day. Feel free to love them with me. Haha

another time another place

Have you ever looked at a farm and thought about what it would be like to live that life? Every time I pass one, all the unspoken wonder peeks it's curious head and I sit and let my mind drift to another time another place where that would be the life I wanted.
I've always been surrounded by farms growing up, I am sure that is why I am very much fascinated by them. It's hard for me to explain but it is almost like living back in the day where you worked with your hands and you grew your food. A hard days work consisted of waking up before the sun and having sweat pour from all your pores. Where at the end of the day you didn't want to go do do do, you just wanted to rest and be. There are moments where the idea of that kind of life still sounds appealing to me. Not an easy life by any means, but one that builds character through a daily pouring out of yourself. I think there is so much beauty that is lost by the busyness that our lives are often clouded by. We often overlook the majesty that surrounds us.
