A Down Home Country Weekend

It didn't happen by design ... but this weekend has been filled with country adventures.

It all started when a friend suggested that we spend Saturday afternoon driving down country roads of yesteryear. We ended up spending a quiet, nature filled afternoon at her uncle's farm.

We talked of the past, present and future. We wandered down what (used to be) a road to the farm she grew up on. Most of all ... we breathed in the fresh air, enjoyed a beautiful summer day, listened to the wind and took a step away from life.

Yesterday, my Second Son invited us out for brunch at his farm. His little family (his girlfriend and their two dogs) have been camping out at the farm all weekend.

We drove up to a cozy family setting and settled in to enjoy the moment. We ended up out at His Lake. Water levels are high this year and the slough on his property has grown to epic proportions.

I was too afraid of getting my feet dirty (or tipping over in the canoe), so My Youngest captured the essence of their canoe ride on video.

Here is a little peek at the view from The Lake:
