Everyone Lives In The Country

When I stand in the field behind my Sister's house I can look to my right and see my parent's house...the house I grew up in....


Just across the road from their farm I can see my Cousin's farm....


Straight ahead of me is my Sister's house....


A little to the left I can see the old site of the 3-roomed grade school I attended when I was a child, and just behind that is my Second Cousin's farm....


And on my left, off in the distance, I can see another Cousin's farm, and just beyond that is my Brother's farm....


Everyone I know here lives in the country.

Country people raise sheep....


They barbeque hogs for special events....


And they grow amazing things like grapes...



Corn...


Hydrangeas......


Apples....


And tomatoes....


I miss my garden.
