Country Living

I used to stare at the pages in Country Living magazine and love seeing how people lived where there was such beauty all around them. Growing up in the west has it's own beauty - I'll say that - but I would dream of the fall's people were experiencing in the East where there were millions of trees with all the gorgeous leaves and fall festivals and pumpkin patches etc... I have never really experienced fall I feel until moving here. It is absolutely incredible. Every time I go out on a drive I feel I am on a scenic parkway. The reds and golds are beautiful There are multiple farms that let you come pick apples and pumpkins and have activities for the families. I LOVE it! I have fallen in love with fall all over again. A couple days ago we drove out to a farm to do some activities and the drive out there was unbelieveably beautiful with the scenery. There was a gorgeous lake in the middle of it all and the trees surrounding it seemed like they were on fire because of the colors and I was just awestruck with how close I live to so many beautiful spots. This put me in a good mood. Everyone keeps telling me just wait until winter sets in - you'll be hating life but for now I LOVE going outside and the crisp air and the pumpkins on porches and the falling leaves. I am going to enjoy it while it lasts and make my own Country Living Magazine article to enjoy. I love it!
