Rural ~ Home

As I have frequently shared, we live in rural America. We are surrounded by fields, dairies, alfalfa fields, and a few people. There are only about 3500 people in our county. I like the quiet, country life. No malls, only a couple of diners, a couple of gas stations and a couple of grocery stores. We do have a McDonald's and a 7-11, but that is about it as far as national chains go. It is nice, you know your neighbors and you look out for each other. It is a nice place to raise children, and even nicer when they come home for a visit. It is hot dogs on Easter weekend, parade and derby on the 4th of July. It is true Americana at it's finest. Welcome to Rural America.

And the one I chose for the rural challenge...  I call "Born Today".



MK Challenge ~ Spring

I love spring. It is a renewal. I love the flowers, the rain, the crisp evenings, the warm afternoons. I love hearing people outside, mowing, riding bikes. One of my most favorite parts of spring is the beginning of baseball season. I love watching all the games, from T-ball to the Pros. Ashton is 7 this year. I wish I lived closer to catch all of his games (coach-pitch). I did see the opening game. So fun. It was hard to choose which one of my photos was a favorite to post. I narrowed it down to these two.

Happy Spring and Happy Baseball Season!

MK Challenge ~ Colorful

So much color surrounds us. Why does it take a photography challenge to make us appreciate it? I have a few colorful pictures to share. Sorry for so many, but I just could not decide!
