If the flies and the mud were to be eliminated, it sounds
lovely. :)
Found such a place in the state of Texas. Great Grandmother, two story old home built by great grandfather and his sons.
we'd walk the cow paths down to the pond, attempt to catch the ducks and frogs. Manage to stay far away from the bulls. Explore the hen house, the cellar, the old upstirs rooms of the house, the attic.

Spent many a summer evening walking the farmland or on the ground looking up at the heavens close enough to touch. Fireflies, millions of fireflies. How sad we don't see those too often any longer. Looking at the expanse above makes one feel connected, finding ourselves to be a small piece of the huge puzzle.

I sent you a link via Freepmail...I thought you might find it pleasant, as you seem to have that same type of connection to a place.
