Wide Open Spaces

No doubt, there’s a perfect place for most of us.  Some love cities, maybe it’s the hustle and bustle and amenities and proximity to everything that appeals to them.  Some like the wide open spaces, happy with mail ordering the many things we can’t get out in the rural areas.  I can’t think of any place I’d rather live!  I think my perfect place is right here.

As I was packing up my things to take to visit Cindy earlier this week, I decided to leave my camera at home.  I didn’t want to be taking pictures while we were visiting and it’s a route we take often . . any time we go to Pittsburg, KS or Joplin, MO so I figured I wouldn’t come across anything worth photographing.  I was wrong!

I passed this field of freshly cut and baled hay and I had to turn around, go back and get pictures with my cell phone.

The sky was so blue, the grass actually looks blue!

As I drove a little farther up the road, the sun was shining directly on the field and I had to stop again and get more pictures.

And a bit farther up the road . .

I know many will look at this picture and say . . what’s your point?  but, I think this is so beautiful!  Really, I think this is the perfect spot for us.  Have I said yet that I love this area?

A little farther up the road and I came across this:

It’s big old chicken houses!  I’m taking Ruby back and showing her how most chickens live.  I’m betting she would appreciate her purple coop and all those hand picked mulberries a whole lot more if she knew the dire conditions most chickens find themselves in!

So, folks . . when are you moving to Missouri?  :)
