The Seeds of Empowerment

For the last four days I have been working in the yard -- gardening and planting a meadow.

Although I live in the suburbs I have a large yard that is divided into two sections -- one that is close to the house and gets a lot of use -- and one that is farther back and doesn't "do" too much.

This year I decided to put that back section to work!

I am turning it into a meadow -- a field of wildflowers. I have tilled the land and planted 6 pounds of wildflower seeds (that's a lot!)

I dream of living in "the country" but have no plans to move there just yet -- so instead, I am bringing "the country" to me...

Breath of Country Air

I love seeing traditional country scenes. I live in the suburbs so country scenes are a not an everyday occurence for me.

Country scenes bring me a sense of peace and simplicity and without saying a word they remind me to just breeaatthheee.
