Simple things

We were invited over to a friend's house last week.  Her family of 7 lives on a small country farm. They have dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, ducks and goats.  Near their house is a small pond with an island. There is a makeshift bridge joining the tiny island to the mainland.  There is mud and lots of it.
There are paths...
homemade rafts...
and forest fortresses...

There are buckets, pots, shovels, slides, sticks, and visions of childhood everywhere I looked.
In our fast paced lives, sometimes we miss the simple things that make life beautiful. 
I enjoyed our day on the small country farm....
Here is our world today...

The End!
