I'm ready...

to lay on our porch
with nothing on my mind
relaxing to the sounds of the birds
thinking about how blue the sky is here in the country
hoping that the phone doesn't ring
watching the grasses in the prairie bend in the wind
seeing the smile on my husband's face
eating fresh baked cookies
while
waiting for the deer to walk up our drive way
and
look us with those eyes that say
"welcome back"

    {Hi, I'm Cam, I've been here a few times lately, and love the whole vibe of this place you have here.}

    Soaking up the sun on beautiful days is as good as it gets...

**I love reading the comments you leave, as they make me feel like we're sitting in my kitchen, having a cup of tea, discussing life and wondering where all the time has gone ...beth
