Up another lane
(Moorsholm Lane)
This morning!
Right now. the farming community is very busy.
I feel blessed to be part of this community!
Our house in the distance,
The upstairs window on your left is my study.
I look out onto this farm, everyday from my study window...
yet from a distance the pattern and colours are so wonderful!
Love of the Land
By Terri Lemmon
It’s a hard feeling to describe,
this emotion that swells inside.
Each time I fondly gaze,
on the land where I was raised.
I see memories of happy times,
and hear the laughter so clear.
I smile as I remember –
and can almost touch the images so near.
I also get a little sad,
when thinking about those that are gone.
I feel so close to them here
on the land we all lived on.
The thing is you can’t describe it
to those that put money before all.
It’s not the monetary rewards that make you
feel the pride, the love, the call.
But for those who do understand,
these lines are meant for you
We have been blessed with a good life
and a satisfied feeling known to so few.
So when you say your prayers,
and thank the Good Lord above,
Remember to add how thankful you are
to be safe and free on the land that you love.

Lilli & Nevada,

Yes, and we appreciate it too, some don't.

Shaz, yes it is.
As I sit here there is more activity going on at Ronnie's farm, over the road.
I always enjoy getting out in nature and just soaking in the beauty of it all. :)
I've lived most of my life as a City girl, but the country was always in my heart. I know exactly how you feel - I pray I shall never take this beautiful corner of the world that I live in for granted..
Hello Denise,
Your's is Living the Beautiful Life! What a Lovely view from
your Window! My view is of an
Oak Tree! It blocks the view of other townhomes. I told
you about Violette's Giveaway and
forgot to tell you Craftyhala is
having one also until Midnight tonight her time.
Have a Blessed Week! Flassie
usa, yes beauty is wonderfully absorbing!
I love your poem today - I think you have to stand back sometimes and realise how many blessings you have, don't you. I am glad you remind me when I read your website it grounds me when I have had a bad day - I don't think I know what a bad day is really....
Stopping by to leave some love on your doorstep, hugs in your post box and a kiss for each cheek resting on the windowsill!
I do pop in, I do ---- I've just been so bad at leaving comments lately.
My glitter sister you have the most amazing views!
XOXOXOXOXO
Love,
Lisa

What a lovely farm! Your pictures make it look so inviting. That is a huge cow.
I am blessed to live on the land where I was raised, and it truly is a blessing.
Love the poem too.
Ah, I see autumn is well and truly here. They tell us that next week we shall have a Santa Ana -- hot desert dry winds and very low humidity. Our wild fire season.
Your lane is so beautifully green.
mountain mama,
I was looking for quite some time before I found a poem to "fit" my post. The looking was worth it though.

Chris J,
Yes Autumn is definately here!

Thanks for pointing out your home. When I looked back at the photos, I noticed it in another one, too. What wonderful soil you have there. I can't wait to see all of your bulbs in bloom. And thanks for the poem.
Your house is wonderfully situated...lovely countryside Denise!
