Wide Open Spaces

I took a quick trip home this past weekend to visit my family

and get an early start on celebrating this beautiful country of ours.

We took an early evening stroll down the road to the farm

a rolling piece of land my parents own

to stretch our legs after the long car ride

and attempt to spot deer in the uncut hay

After years of city living

its sometimes nice just to stand in open space

 and breathe deeply.
