Re...How fun! One of the reasons I love this blog!!<br /><br />Recently Laura the dog and I have been running down a swath of lawn cut through towering corn stalks. It's like our own little maze, and no more about 1,000 yards away. There's also a natural berm, a golf course, tennis courts; all KINDS OF stufff!!!<br /><br />Sigh.

Walking through, it is an excellent place to think about my life as well as what life was like for those who have passed on--whether it is the man who died at age 71 in 1912 or the 3 year old who passed in 1936.Slamdunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087161268629251860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178848256551614320.post-61857322314756951842010-09-22T17:32:17.679-05:002010-09-22T17:32:17.679-05:00Great Post Janna.

We border a farm out back, so there are often cows in the field.

Although we live in the country and have about an acre of land, we live in a neighborhood. It would take a 2-3 mile walk to find solitude.
