Country Living


I've really been busy the past couple of weeks. So much so that I've not had much time to blog. But as I was resting for a little while this afternoon, Country Living kept coming to mind. So, I started jotting down the words that came to me describing what I saw in my minds eye.

  2. Hi Laurie- I am finally getting back to blogging and visiting! I think of FROST on the pumpkin and hayrides and hot cider and apple pie baking when I think of fall. Hope you have a great day...xo Diana

  6. When I think of country living I think of my Amish neighbors! All the other words listed here do cover about everything. It took me a while to learn to love living in a rural area but now it's what makes me smile! Happy October..my favorite month!
