Beautiful Skies

Evening Sky

One evening last week I stepped out outside and saw the most beautiful sunset.  The sky was a brilliant orange. Our back porch faces the west so we can see the sun go down every night if we want to sit out.  The best views are actually from the garden or out in the field.  

The past few nights the skies have been clear and the moon has been shining brightly.  We have a large bay window in the master bedroom that faces out into the back yard.  The moon has done a great job of lighting up the room at night.  I love the night sky in here in the country.  We can see thousands of stars and we always get a good look at the "sky moon" as Gracie used to call it.

I also love the wide open sky we have during the day.  We had beautiful weather and an awesome breeze a few weeks back.  It was perfect for flying a kite.  When we lived in Guelph we would have to hike to the school yard to fly kites and airplanes. Now we just have to step outside and away we go. 

Rod has been enjoying fixing up the yard for the family to play in.  A few of our recent additions have been a play centre for the grandkids and a tetherball.  Almost everyone taken a turn playing tetherball.  Even Gracie has gotten in on the fun.

We are truly enjoying living here in the country.  Stop by sometime and come play with us.  We have tons of grass to mow and apples to pick.  Maybe you could help us pound fence posts or build a barn. There are woods to explore and trails to bush wack.  At night we can sit on the back porch and watch the sun go down and then count all the stars in the sky. 

LIFE IS GOOD
